State Judge Julio Mendez ruled against the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority’s (CRDA) plan to acquire the ‘Birnbaum’ property in Atlantic City. The state agency was told they can’t take a three-story home owned by Charlie Birnbaum through eminent domain.

The CRDA can’t proceed unless it presents a concrete plan to redevelop that parcel.
