Longmont to file eminent-domain paperwork

“City officials in Longmont plan to start eminent-domain proceedings against the Dillard’s department store chain within the next week, according to Brad Power, Longmont’s economic development director.

A filing will be made in Boulder County District Court, which would start the process on setting a price for the property and granting the city possession of it. City council members – acting as the Longmont Urban Renewal Authority – approved the eminent-domain action Tuesday, April 9, in connection with the $80 million redevelopment of Twin Peaks Mall, which is being renamed the Village at the Peaks.”
