Sonia Eaddy waged a fight against eminent domain.
“I just want to cry right now,” Eaddy told a crowd of about 50 people. “It’s been a long time coming.”
As Scott announced that Eaddy’s property would be removed from the planned development, the crowd cheered and applauded, and a big smile broke across Eaddy’s face. For his part, Bythewood said he was excited to “move forward in a direction that is a win for everybody.” Eaddy received notice in 2000 that her three-story rowhouse at the intersection of North Carrollton Avenue and Sarah Ann Street was slated for demolition. She has fought her displacement ever since. Eaddy was collecting signatures for a “Save the Block” petition in 2005 after La Cité won a bid from the city to develop the project.
The Center\West project is a private development, but it had to work with the city to acquire and demolish properties. The project also has benefited from tax increment financing, which diverts increased property taxes from city coffers to instead pay down the debt on some infrastructure improvements. In 2017, the city issued $12 million of such tax increment financing bonds to support the project.
