Ball State Drops Bid for Eminent Domain; Hiatt Safe

Chris Hiatt expressed relief at the conclusion of what has been a two-year ordeal for the company, but cautioned that other businesses will remain at risk of seizure.

“...while the recent decision to abandon the seizure of the McKinley property by Ball State is certainly a victory for the Hiatt family in the immediate moment, it really means that Ball State University simply lives on to attempt to seize private property yet another day.”
