Case Study:
Private Property Rights - Conaway Ranch

When Yolo County sought to use gambling profits to seize the 17,000 acre Conaway Ranch, local community leaders sought out River City Communications to draw attention to what became a national symbol of eminent domain abuse. River City Communications managed and developed grass-roots and media strategies that attracted state and national media attention to Conaway Ranch and the need to reform California’s eminent domain laws. The negative public opinion generated by these efforts led the County to abandon its eminent domain proceedings against the Ranch.

As part of the efforts to protect Conaway Ranch, River City Communications was entrusted to establish the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights (The Alliance). The Alliance is a coalition of family farmers, community and taxpayer advocates committed to exposing the dangers and abuses of eminent domain. River City communications continues to work with the Alliance to pursue legislative reforms to protect private property rights.
