Plans to build the World Trade Center were controversial. The site for the World Trade Center was the location of Radio Row, home to hundreds of commercial and industrial tenants, property owners, small businesses, and approximately 100 residents, many of whom fiercely resisted forced relocation.[55] A group of small businesses affected filed an injunction challenging the Port Authority's power of eminent domain.[56] The case made its way through the court system to the United States Supreme Court; the Court refused to accept the case.[57]
