"A national environmental group with deep pockets and specialized legal expertise is joining the effort to block a permit for one of the area’s biggest development projects.
The Natural Resources Defense Council filed a lawsuit Monday to halt the environmental permit issued for a massive rail yard proposed for southwest Johnson County.
The organization claims that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers failed to adequately evaluate the environmental effects of the nearly 500-acre rail hub that would be located about 30 miles south of Kansas City."
