School May Seize Printer's Property Via Eminent Domain

While the authorization to condemn the building for public use has been filed, the dispute will go to mediation next month, the Star reported. If that negotiation isn't fruitful, the university will try to convince a court that seizing the property through eminent domain will benefit the public.

The university reportedly offered Hiatt $400,000 for the building, which has second-floor apartments in addition to the shop space—which it alleges is $40,000 more than fair market value based on third-party appraisals.
