eminent domain + Fairfield Park

Texas is seeking to use eminent domain to acquire a state park. Well, it was a state park for decades. The state leased the land from the property owner for a nominal fee. The lease terminated. Developers want to build. There were negotiations. Negotiations weren’t fruitful, and the state wants to keep its park. Here we are- public park space v. the building of a gated community and a golf course.
