The owner of the little-used Apex department store complex is suing Pawtucket to block the city s attempts to seize the property and redevelop it.
Lawyers for four entities calling themselves the Apex companies filed a complaint in U.S. District court last week to stop the systemic abuse of power by city officials who have relentlessly singled out the Apex Companies and tried to coerce them into giving up their properties.
The suit continues a multi-year disagreement between the city and property owner Andrew Gates, who has failed to do much with the nearly vacant department store building and surrounding surface parking lots.
PAWTUCKET – Owners of the downtown Apex properties have sued city officials in their personal capacities, saying the lawsuit is meant to “stop the systemic abuse of power deployed by the defendants.”
The lawsuit, filed in District Court April 14, says Mayor Donald Grebien and others “have relentlessly singled out the Apex Companies, interfered with their property rights and their businesses, and tried to coerce them into giving up their properties in violation of the law.”
The city, working with the state, “has engaged in a coordinated attempt to pass unconstitutional legislation and leverage the power of eminent domain to acquire the Apex Companies’ private property for a fraction of the true market value,” it states. “These efforts include improper conduct and the passage and attempted application of legislation, ordinances, and (amendments) to the city’s redevelopment plan that specifically, and unconstitutionally, single out the Apex Companies’ properties
