Does being in an urban renewal area mean my property will be condemned?

Avon, CO - Official Website
No. The Town of Avon has excluded the right to use eminent domain entirely from its Urban Renewal Plan. Property for an urban renewal project is most often acquired by private interests in arms-length transactions at fair market value. Most municipalities are extremely reluctant to use their condemnation powers for many reasons, not the least of which is the lengthy acquisition and negotiation process.
