A federal judge ruled against the Town of Johnston, asserting the town lacked authority to seize a property. The judge's decision allows the Santoro family to proceed with a 252-unit affordable housing project. The town had attempted to use eminent domain to halt the development, claiming the land was needed for a municipal complex. Legal challenges arose regarding the town’s adherence to proper procedures and public notification.
