ABout a year or so ago this happened in okclhoma city, and sparked a huge fight.
The city ended up jumping the gun and confiscating a chunk of land, so that they could then turn around an d sell it to target for a supertarget shoppign center.
but they got their butt in a bind, because while they can exercise "emminent domain" they _can't_ do it, and then sell it.
It has to be used by the city/state, not sold to a private corporation.
it's in state courts now, but it's looking like the city has it's butt in a major bind over it.
amazing thing is, for something so sensitive, and affectign so many people, you actually have to dig and searchf ro info on it, cause the news media won't touch it with a ten foot pole...hmm....i wonder why that is?
