Hiatt Printing, Target of Eminent Domain, Closes its Doors

MUNCIE, IN—Hiatt Printing, the campus printing shop that locked horns with Ball State University in 2012 when the school threatened to use eminent domain power to seize the printer's McKinley Avenue property, is slated to close its doors on May 16, The Star Press reported.

Hiatt Printing's real estate was desired by the school, which sought to make it a part of a proposed $25 million McKinley Commons facility. The project would have featured a learning center for hospitality and food management students, including hotels and restaurants. Last June, the university said it was putting those plans on hold and would not be pursuing eminent domain.
