The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected the use of eminent domain by the city of Norwood in a closely watched case. It was the first challenge of the property rights law since the U.S. Supreme Court gave its consent to the general use of taking land. The Ohio court restricted the use of eminent domain, but it's not clear whether the case will play a role in a prominent Cleveland project. ideastream's Mark Urycki reports.
