Condemning authorities often wave the flag of economic development and prosperity to justify eminent domain abuse. But there’s a huge difference between “private property for public use” and “private property for private use.”
An independent research study found that states that restricted eminent domain use for corporate interests weren’t negatively impacted in terms of employment or gross state product.
So you have the right to legally contest any condemnation that cannot definitively prove it’s exclusively for public use.
