City Files Eminent Domain Against Lubbock Church
Lubbock, TX -- A local pastor says his church could be forced to shut down if the city gets what it wants.
The city has been planning for years to widen 50th Street west of Slide Road to seven lanes. In order to do that, they need some land from the Faith Assembly of God Church.
Earlier this week, the city filed eminent domain proceedings, and the church congregation says it`s just not right.
The city determined the church would only lose about six-square-feet of its sanctuary in the deal, so they offered the church $250,000.
The pastor of the church, Terry Nesmith, says he couldn`t accept the offer because the church would actually lose 30-feet.
"There`s just no way we can replace what we`re losing with ($250,000)," he says.
