Vacant lots near the Ontario Airport will remain in private possession.
The Fourth Appellate District Court of Appeal, Division One, published a ruling July 31 that said Ontario had no reason to seize the lots through eminent domain.
Ontario attempted to seize land at 942 E.State St., 1048 E. State St., 1058-1064 E. State St., 1128 E. State St., 948 E. Main St., 954 E. Main St. and 1018 E. Jefferson St. on April 26, 2021.
The stated purpose of the seizure would be for “airport mitigation” and “blight elimination,” and that lots did not conform to city requirements
