Eminent domain: City eyes controversial move to acquire land
“In earlier years, 416 S. Grand was home to Darrell’s Upholstery and Furniture Repair and also may have been a consignment shop, according to online search results of that address.
Now, the small building sits vacant. One sign in the window proclaims it is “Your Handyman Connection,” a reference to the maintenance work Kenneth Dillard did there before he died in 2011.
That building and the land under it appear to be one of only five properties standing in the way of Enid Renaissance Project, a multi-million-dollar expansion of urban renewal southward from the courthouse Square to Garriott.
Enid City Commission could decide as early as tonight to begin condemnation proceedings on it.”
