Alleging defamation, conspiracy theories and threats by a federal official, former South Jersey Economic Development District Executive Director Gordon Dahl has threatened to sue the district, Atlantic County, and representatives of the NextGen Aviation Research and Technology Park.
A six-page letter detailing various demands was sent to representatives of SJEDD prior to the board’s unanimous vote of “no confidence” in Dahl’s abilities on Monday night. In the letter, Dahl’s Mount Laurel-based attorney Kevin Costello stated that Dahl would pursue litigation if the board voted against him.
The Press of Atlantic City received a copy of the letter Thursday.
The letter stated that Dahl believes Atlantic County, representatives of the park’s board and Ford-Scott & Associates auditors have participated in “a conspiracy of defamation and tortuous interference.” He believes the entities were attempting to make the NextGen park site appear less valuable to allow newly selected conditional developer New Vistas to make a significant profit on the property.
“The fact that my client has also been the recipient of threats, intimidation and coercion by a federal elected representative with apparent ties to one or more of the parties receiving this letter and/or one of the parties mentioned herein, only enhances the reasons why the matter ought to be resolved clearly and finally and early,” the letter reads.
The official is not named in the letter.
Dahl is also demanding more than $1 million in settlement costs, including his salary for the remainder of 2012, compensation for a pension hit and $750,000 in damages.
