An ordinance from the Springfield City Council to place the Hotel of Terror property under eminent domain may be put to voters in April 2026.

City Clerk Anita Cotter confirmed that the amended referendum petition has sufficient signatures, after an earlier petition was found 125 signatures short.

The City Council will now certify the petition before deciding whether to present the issue to voters or repeal the ordinance.
