Klass in Star Tribune on Environmental Lawsuit

Professor Alexandra Klass was interviewed and quoted in an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune about a lawsuit in which she is representing a citizens group on a pro bono basis against the City of Savage and a developer. The lawsuit seeks to require a study of the environmental impacts of a proposed residential development on a 115-acre parcel of property containing woods and wetlands near the “Savage Fen” (a heavily-protected, sensitive wetland complex in Savage). The article was reporting on the fact that the City and the developer have agreed to conduct an environmental review of the project rather than wait for the possibility of the court ordering such review. Civil practice clinic students Dan Leland and Sitso Bediako have been assisting in the lawsuit.
