A Fulton County Superior Court judge has upheld a controversial project to re-develop Jekyll Island.
The judge dismissed claims by the development's losing bidder that the Jekyll Island Authority didn't play by its own rules when it chose Greensboro, Georgia developer Linger Longer to build the project.
The losing bidder, Wade Shealy of Atlanta, said the Authority had no intention of holding a fair hearing and instead gave the $350 million project to political insiders.
At stake is a massive overhaul of the state park. Critics say the project could adversely impact the island's environment and affordability as a vacation destination.
Shealy says, he'll likely appeal the judge's decision.
