The state’s eminent domain task force has filed its preliminary report on the rules and regulations for eminent domain in Ohio.  For some reason, the task force could not come to an agreement on what constitutes “blight”.  Strangely enough, this definition is necessary when deciding if a public entity ( a city) can take control of property and hand it over for private development.

The first of three  PUBLIC hearings will be held today in Lakewood where the recent West End Development project was narrowly defeated by the voters in that community.

WHERE:  Women’s Pavilion at Lakewood Park

               14532 Lake Avenue

WHEN:     3:00 p.m.

               Monday, April Tenth      

WHAT:    Public Hearing

              Topic of Discussion:  Eminent Domain

WANTED:  Anyone who can attend should attend and be heard on this very sensitive subject that will have lasting impact not only on us but also on future generations.
