I'm not sure why this is being downvoted, considering that Kelo v. City of New London[1] provides precedent that eminent domain can be use to forcibly transfer property for the purposes of economic development.

It's precedent at a federal level (which would apply here), but that doesn't mean people like it. See [Art.] 12-a. [Power to Take Property Limited.] in https://www.nh.gov/glance/bill-of-rights.htm
