Trustees for the Houston-area school district voted unanimously Monday to revoke their previous decisions to acquire two 1-acre properties, one of which has been Travis Upchurch's home of 46 years, through eminent domain.
Trustees for the Houston-area school district voted in April to pursue eminent domain to acquire a 1-acre tract of land long owned by Upchurch and his family, which has prompted pushback from community members.
Aldine ISD wants to buy the 1-acre property owned by Travis Upchurch, a 79-year-old man who has lived there for 46 years, as part of its plan to rebuild W.W. Thorne Stadium. Upchurch wants to stay there until he dies.
