In Historic Downtown Richmond, property owners are gearing up to fight against Fort Bend County’s threat to seize their land for public use. The county wants to turn the area into a parking lot, but the owners refuse to sell. Eminent domain, the government’s right to take private property, is being invoked. Residents fear losing the community’s charm and have launched a petition, using the hashtag #SaveItDontPaveIt, to draw attention to the issue.
