Judge Overrules Land Seizure in Johnston
A federal judge in Rhode Island invalidated Johnston’s attempt to seize land via eminent domain from a family-owned company to build a public safety complex and town hall. The court found the town failed to meet constitutional requirements, including proper procedures and just compensation, rendering the condemnation void. The town had relied on a home rule charter and lacked proper notice to the landowners, leading to the case's victory for the family.
