Columbia University won a ruling by New York’s highest court that allows it to proceed with a $6.3 billion expansion of its campus through use of the state’s eminent domain power to acquire property.

The New York Court of Appeals in Albany today held that the Empire State Development Corp.’s findings of “blight” and its determination that the property could be condemned to promote land use improvement were rationally based. The court also found the Columbia project met a “civic purpose” that lets the state exercise eminent domain.
