Construction work is underway for the new Foxconn plant in Mount Pleasant, but some homeowners are holding out as far as selling their property near the project.
A move Wednesday by Mount Pleasant might pave the way for those homes to be taken by eminent domain.
A redevelopment plan calls the area within the remaining homes "a blighted area."
The means that the new plans could give the authority to use eminent domain to take any remaining properties.
"They're not willing to consider home owners offers even though they're telling the media and everybody that every homeowner has sold their home willingly they're doing so under the threat of eminent domain," Mount Pleasant resident Kim Mahoney said.
The village is currently offering homeowners 140-percent of the appraised value for their homes.
A statement from the village reads, "If eminent domain is utilized under the redevelopment plan it will only be as a last resort and would apply to just a few homes within the entire project area."
