YORKTOWN, Ind. (WTHR) – The city of Yorktown is hoping to break ground later this year on a new downtown development.
The only problem is they city needs to acquire several homes to make this happen.
Many of those homes are along canal street where some residents have resided for 20 to 50 years and they are not wanting to leave, which has the city threatening eminent domain.
Canal Street in Yorktown is kind of a quiet street with old houses that many people have called home for years.
People like Ruby, Jerry and Janice but it's Jerry's story that captured our attention.

Still stealing property without just compensation.
