Social Media Brings Down Eminent Domain in TX Town.

Flower Mound would like to acquire land to join two “business” thoroughfares. The land owner objected to eminent domain to join businesses & wants to negotiate an easement.

Controversy stirred and generated 400 Facebook & public comments over a weekend, such as:  “This is a battle about the heart of Flower Mound.”

City Council pulled the agenda item. The City says it followed the letter of the law and has been negotiating with the land owner.
