Two property owners in Maplewood have won a pre-emptive strike against eminent domain after a state Superior Court judge removed their lots from the township's redevelopment plan.
Neither Carolyn Evans' office building that houses her account ing business nor Richard Rico's commercial space that includes a hair salon had been condemned. But both, located side by side on Springfield Avenue, were designated as properties in need of redevelopment.
