A local grass roots organization qualified a ballot measure to stop the city from setting up a redevelopment agency. The redevelopment agency planned to use eminent domain to buy up homes and businesses in the city against the wishes of the property owners. 

Our campaign made a local family owned nursery that had been in business for over 50 years the center piece of our campaign; the nursery would have been forced to relocate if the redevelopment agency had succeeded. By showing voters the real people who would be affected by the redevelopment agency’s actions, we were able to successfully prevail in stopping the redevelopment agency.
