Sahas settle with Coatesville
DailyLocal.com
Coatesville, PA -- Ok, it ain't NYC and has nothing to do with Ratner, but we thought that Brooklynites might cheer up when they learn that the Town of Coatesville, PA has agreed to drop the eminent domain seizure of Dick Saha's family farmstead to build a golf course after Saha agreed to sell five acres of the land for a regional recreational center. Though the sale price hasn't been revealed, it has been reported that it is less than the $300,000 Saha spent in legal fees to save his home.
Saha said the agreement was a win for property owners and a loss for eminent domain abuse.
"It’s something that had to be stopped sooner or later," Saha said. "We have troops over there that are getting shot every day for our rights."
