Fenn Church Fights Eminent Domain | Birmingham News
Description
Fenn Church is locked in a high-stakes battle with Alabama Power over land rights, as the utility seeks to use eminent domain to install transmission lines—including on his driveway—threatening his privacy and home. With viral videos and interviews drawing over a million views, Church has rallied support from politicians like Senator Katie Britt and Rep. Dale Strong, plus country music star John Rich as Special Envoy for Landowners. Frustrated by what he calls a lack of transparency, Church claims Alabama Power withheld key route maps until after court proceedings, ignoring viable alternatives proposed by him and other landowners. He’s urging elected officials to prioritize constituents over corporate interests, hoping public attention will pressure Alabama Power to negotiate—and protect private property rights across the board.
