Board Votes to Support Eminent Domain Amendment
The Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted 7-1 on Tuesday to support the proposed Eminent Domain Amendment. Virginia voters will decide on Nov. 6 if the amendment should become law. If passed, it would prohibit governments from using eminent domain for private benefit or gain, increasing the number of jobs and tax revenue or economic development. Land could only be taken for a truly public use, such as road projects.
