>Durham, N.C. – It has come to the attention of the City and County of 
>Durham that many residents in the Kentington Heights neighborhood (Massey 
>Chapel Road area) in southwestern Durham have recently received a letter 
>regarding selling their property to a developer. The letter threatens that 
>if they do not sell their property to the developer, the City or the County 
>of Durham could proceed with eminent domain and could take the “entire 
>development for the public good.”  The letter goes on to state that 
>residents will receive much less money through eminent domain than they 
>would receive from the developer for the property.
>
>
>
>Neither the City nor the County have plans to exercise eminent domain in 
>this area. According to County Attorney Chuck Kitchen, under North Carolina 
>law eminent domain cannot be used in this manner.
>
>
>
>Any residents of the Kentington Heights neighborhood who have received the 
>letter are urged to call the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office at 
>877-5-NO-SCAM with concerns.
