Minneapolis Businesses at Floyd Square Sue City for $30 Million

Business owners claim city neglect led to property devaluation and demand compensation through eminent domain.

The lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County District Court, seeks $30 million in damages for alleged property devaluation and loss of income.
Businesses argue that the city's failure to address crime and deterioration post-George Floyd's murder has created a 'no go zone' for police.
The legal action replaces a previous lawsuit dismissed two months ago, focusing on the city's alleged unlawful property taking.
Business owners demand the city initiate eminent domain proceedings to formally take over their properties and provide just compensation.
City officials acknowledge the challenges faced by businesses but have not commented on the ongoing litigation.
