City set to use eminent domain to purchase deteriorating East Lawrence property
“Lawrence city commissioners are set to use their eminent domain powers — and pay about $115,000 in the process — to acquire an East Lawrence property that has deteriorated for decades but managed to avoid city prosecution.
Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting will consider paying the court-ordered amount of $114,500 to acquire the old house, barn and real estate at 1106 Rhode Island St.”
