They didn't, AND, the pharmaceutical company research facility (Pfizer) that was supposed to be an anchor/draw for the hotel moved to MA. Eminent domain should rarely, if ever, be used, and then only for definitely crucial purposes - not for bike paths, hiking trails, or a road that some developer wants so that his/her development will have better accessibility.

The project never got built because Pfizer — the company that was supposed to be the main occupant of the office complex — backed out of the deal after it merged with Wyeth and began downsizing.

The good news is that the property is now a dump (literally) generating no tax revenue for the city of New London.
