Local TREND. Stop Eminent Domain by Changing Property Designation.

Omaha is changing the designation of property to landmark status in an effort to slow or prevent eminent domain proceedings.

How does this designation change the eminent domain process?

• The Omaha Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission gives the designation
• This designation then kicks the property to require approval from the Planning Commission and City Council before action can taken against the property.
