Oklahoma City's Maps 3 Projects
Assistant City Manager Cathy O’Connor tried to quell fears that the city would push out all landowners in the area.
"This process does not mean we are going to acquire all the land in the Core to Shore area through eminent domain or urban renewal,” O’Connor said. "That’s not possible. There isn’t enough public money to do that.”
Oklahoma City has made an aggressive attempt to change the neighborhood by rerouting I-40 to the Oklahoma river. A great concern for the businesses may turn out to be that the acquisitions may occur as a series of spot takings, leaving those not taken damaged, yet without compensation.
