(Pawtucket, RI) -- The owners of a Pawtucket property that has long been sought by the city are suing in federal court. The owners of the downtown Apex property are accusing the city of illegally using eminent domain as an attempted acquisition tool. The suit was filed earlier this month. The city had previously focused plans to build a new baseball stadium on the Apex site, but with the departure of the Red Sox minor league affiliate, the new plan is to use the Apex site as part of a new soccer stadium development.
