Court sides with Merchantville in eminent domain dispute
“The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Merchantville officials acted properly in acquiring a rundown apartment building through eminent domain.
In a 5-0 decision, the High Court said state law required the borough to negotiate only with the owner of record of the Wellwood Manor complex on the 600 block of West Maple Avenue. A Texas firm that planned to buy the 54-unit complex at a sheriff’s sale argued it should have been included in the condemnation process.”
