The Infamous Kelo Property Revisited. Mayor Wants Kelo Park.

The Mayor of the City of New London wants to turn the property where the Kelo house stood to be turned into a park in honor of the residents whose homes were taken by eminent domain. 

Kelo’s house was taken for a economic development project that never came to full fruition. The Kelp land is ripe for something. 

The mayor’s campaign included these two issues:

• The US Supreme Court was wrong in Kelo. New London should never have taken the land.
• As mayor, I will dismantle the development corporation that sought Kelo’s land, which he did.
