On March 14, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia issued its ruling in Public Employees for
Environmental Responsibility v. Beaudreau regarding litigation
challenging the regulatory approval of the proposed Cape Wind
Project in Nantucket Sound. The decision illustrates the numerous
challenges developers of large-scale infrastructure projects may
face when coordinating multiresource issues with multiple
government agencies throughout the life cycle of a major project
proposal. Lessons can be learned from the decision, lessons that
may be invaluable during the development process for other large
infrastructure projects in various industries.
