United States First Circuit
Boston Redevelopment Auth. v. Nat'l Park Serv., 15-2270
In a suit brought by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) against the National Park Service (NPS) involving the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), a fund administered under the eponymous and seldom litigated Land and Water Conservation Fund Act (LWCF Act), 54 U.S.C. sections 200301-200310, the District Court's judgment in favor of defendant NPS is affirmed where that NPS acted neither arbitrarily nor capriciously in making the determination that a particular piece of real estate on the northern side of Long Wharf is subject to Section 6(f) restrictions and thus cannot be commercially developed and must remain open for recreational use.
