Debora Palizzi, the owner of Palizzi Farm in Adams County, is learning the hard way that almost any developer in Colorado can be granted the power of eminent domain by city or county officials. Then, conflict of interests be damned, those developers can take land as they see fit for their own personal gain at great expense to others. Palizzi is being dragged into court by developer Jack Hoagland because he wants to route an underground stormwater control system through a portion of her farm, and she refused to sell.
