CT Transit Corridor Authority

Sarah Jorgensen, who fought against Gov. Dannel Malloy's attempt to create a new state agency with the ability to seize land and homes near bus stops and train stations in Connecticut through eminent domain, was awarded this year's Unsung Hero Award from the Yankee Institute for Public Policy. The proposed Transit Corridor Development Authority (TCDA) would have been a new quasi-public state agency with the power to borrow money and seize private property near bus and train stations through eminent domain.
