A lawsuit was filed against a Mississippi city, alleging it failed to inform property owners in a predominantly Black neighborhood about a redevelopment plan targetting their homes.
A Mississippi city failed to properly inform property owners in a majority-Black neighborhood that their homes could be targeted for eminent domain under a redevelopment plan, some residents argue in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Southern District of Mississippi, said the coastal city of Ocean Springs created an 'urban renewal' proposal in an area that includes the properties of four residents and a local Baptist church.
In a statement Thursday, Ocean Springs Mayor Kenny Holloway said the city's proposed plan follows Mississippi statute and that Mississippi Attorney General Fitch will address the claims that the statutes are unconstitutional. 'The city’s proposed Urban Renewal Plan has not violated anyone’s rights. It is unfortunate that our residents have chosen to file a lawsuit instead of having a constructive discussion with the city.
