| Court: | OH Supreme Court |
| Facts: | Norwood has an area that is maybe starting to deteriorate; they want to take it. |
| Posture: | Trial said the taking was permitted. Affirmed on appeal. Appeal! |
| Issue: | Can a city appropriate property that's not yet deteriorated? |
| Holding: | No. |
| Rule: | The standard of "deteriorating area" is void for vagueness. |
| Reasoning: | This place wasn't blighted or in big trouble. There are due process concerns here: what notice do you get that the area is deteriorating? also, how much deterioration is enough? |
