What is the nature of the legal challenge against Mayor Zohran Mamdani's municipal grocery store plan?
A coalition of immigrant grocers and small business owners has filed lawsuits against the plan. The Multicultural Business Coalition, which represents 50 chambers of commerce, filed two lawsuits on a Monday, including a proposed class action on behalf of hundreds of minority business owners. The coalition argues the $70 million plan threatens minority-owned businesses and could unfairly harm family-owned bodegas and grocery stores, potentially violating the civil rights of business owners from historically disadvantaged communities. They also allege the city failed to conduct adequate land-use and economic studies regarding the impact on nearby businesses before choosing locations.
