RICHMOND, Texas — Some property owners in Richmond, Texas are preparing to fight after they say Fort Bend County has threatened to take their land for public use. The land is in Historic Downtown Richmond.
It’s called eminent domain - the right of the government to take private property for public use with fair payment. However, the owners of one of the properties under consideration say there’s nothing fair about it and aren’t interested in selling.
