Judge Blocks Rhode Island Town's Seizure of Land for Affordable Homes
A federal judge ruled that the Town of Johnston, Rhode Island, lacked authority to seize 31 acres intended for a 252-unit affordable housing project by the Santoro family. The town had tried to use eminent domain to stop the development, citing plans for a municipal complex. The ruling allows the housing project to proceed amid legal disputes over procedural and public notice issues.
