City to Use Eminent Domain Power on Reservoir Street Project
“The city council approved a resolution on Tuesday to acquire the remaining land it needs for the Reservoir street Improvement Project. This would allow the city to take the parcels using its power of eminent domain.
Currently, 15 landowners have not reached an agreement to allow the city to buy 20 parcels.
The resolution would allow the city to file certificates of take in Circuit court and give landowners its offer.”
