Eminent Domain to Retain Employers?

St. Louis is considering using eminent domain to retain a local employer, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. 

The Supporters Say:

• The City will lose 3,000 high-paying jobs 
• The City will see reduced tax revenue if the employer leaves
   

The Concerns:

• Using eminent domain against homeowners
• Locals want the area to remain residential, and not become commerical property
