On Wednesday, the Tallahassee City Commission voted 4-1 to pursue an eminent domain lawsuit to acquire the private property owned by Circle K Stores, Inc., located in the Canopy development.
The vote comes after city staff recommended against such an action stating in the agenda item that a “public necessity for the property has not been properly identified. As such, staff does not recommend initiating an eminent domain lawsuit to acquire the private property owned by Circle K Stores, Inc., located in the Canopy development.”
City Commissioner Dianne WIlliams-Cox voted no due concerns related to setting a precedent in the use of eminent domain to address land use controversies.
