Title

Judge orders LG Electronic lawsuit parties to mediation

Body

 

A judge has ordered LG Electronics USA Inc., and borough officials to try to reach an out-of-court settlement with preservationist groups suing over the company’s plans for a headquarters that would be visible above the Palisades.. . .

The project triggered a joint lawsuit from Scenic Hudson and The New Jersey State Federation for Women’s Clubs, as well as Bergen County residents Margo Moss and Jakob Franke, both activists in the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. The parties claimed that the building’s height would ruin a century of conservation efforts by the Rockefeller family and others and could lead to further development along the Palisades.
