Clarksville May Condemn Peddler's Property

News and Tribune, October 4, 2007

The town of Clarksville says it may condemn a portion of the Peddler's Mall property in order to pursue a revitalization project on Easter Boulevard.

The condemnation being discussed would not affect the building but would lay claim to about 25 feet of road frontage.

The plan is to add new lanes, landscaping and sidewalks.  

- One of the things apparent in Clarksville is that the owners do not necessarily have to respond to the government.  Owners have no obligation other than to provide the condemning agency with materials which may serve as the basis for valuation.
