This week around Colorado Springs: What’s happening Jan. 13-19
“Colorado Springs City Council member Joel Miller will propose an ordinance that limits council’s powers of eminent domain. Miller will present the ordinance for discussion during the council work session at 1 p.m. Monday in City Hall, 107 N. Nevada Ave. The proposed ordinance would limit eminent domain to the acquisition of property only for traditional public uses such as the acquisition of land rights for public streets and highways and other traditional public facilities. Miller says, in the proposal, that some Colorado Springs property owners are concerned that federal, state and local law might allow property to be taken by the city under eminent domain and used for private economic development.”
