City to use eminent domain to take church in way of new soccer stadium
“The city of Orlando has filed paperwork to take legal action against a decades-old church that sits in the way of a new soccer stadium.
City leaders said they’ve tried to work with Faith Deliverance Temple to make way for the soccer stadium. The city and the church have been unable to come to an agreement.
The city just filed paperwork announcing its plans to use eminent domain to obtain the property that the church sits on in order to build the $115 million stadium.
The issue of the church land has been an ongoing battle between residents and the city.”
