Eminent Domain Threatens Local Businesses

Rolando Area Business Owners Speak Out

POSTED: 8:25 am PDT July 29, 2005

Some business owners along El Cajon Boulevard are worried the city will take their property under "eminent domain."

The businesses in question are on El Cajon Boulevard between 69th and 70th streets in the Rolando area.

The trouble started when a large developer proposed building a condominium complex that would take up the block.

The offer was later rescinded, but people in the area are still concerned.

"We want to keep our property and we don't appreciate the scare tactics with the threat of eminent domain," said property owner, Mike Collins.

The people expressed their concerns at a city meeting Thursday night.

The city says it doesn't want to take anyone's property, but will work with the neighborhood to help revitilize it .
