Pigeon Forge Took Our House | Eminent Domain Abuse, Executive Session, & Court Showdown

🏠 Pigeon Forge used eminent domain to take our house. Now they’re trying to grab even more.

We’re the Race family. In 2022, we bought a house in Pigeon Forge—unaware the city was planning a road through it. They never warned us. Then they used eminent domain, offered far below market value, and demolished our home.

Now, officials are trying to pass a blanket agreement to close 20+ land deals without public votes. And they just held a closed executive session to talk about our case—out of public view.

📅 COURT DATE: May 5 @ 9:00 AM
📍 125 Court Ave, Sevierville, TN – Show up & support us.

🎥 In this video, we break down the city’s actions, highlight the recent Mountain Press article, and explain how YOU can help stop this.
