Meeting To Discuss Eminent Domain Battle Brewing Over 5000 Block of Baltimore Tonight
“On Baltimore Avenue, an eminent domain battle is brewing over a few crumbling homes on the 5000 block; they’re slated to be taken via eminent domain, possibly in order to make way for an expansion of the neighboring Mercy Wellness Center (which is owned by the Baltimore Avenue Redevdelopment Corporation), or possibly for other purposes. Neighbors say that the community wasn’t consulted, and that they’d prefer for private development continue along Baltimore. There’s a meeting tonight to discuss development of the block, hosted by the Cedar Park Neighbors, and the Baltimore Avenue Business Association.”
