As cities and towns grow, so does the need for expanded roads and highways, even at the cost of people’s personal property.
Before property can be considered officially condemned, the government taking the property must offer the landowner just compensation for the property. This offer can be negotiated. Landowners can even go up against the Department of Transportation for higher compensation.
If you feel that the offer for your property was unjust, seek the help of experienced Fayetteville property lawyers from The Richardson Firm.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) recently announced that it will be widening Murchison Road from Interstate 295 to the U.S. 401 Bypass in Fayetteville.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025, but the D.O.T. will soon begin “taking” private property along the road to make room for the expansion.
Eminent domain allows state, federal and local governments to condemn private property or land for public use. Although the expansion of Murchison Road is necessary for the growth of the city of Fayetteville, many landowners and property owners are facing condemnation by the government.
Is your property being impacted by a North Carolina D.O.T. project? We can fight for you. There are laws in North Carolina that protect you and your right to fair compensation for the loss or damage of your land, business, or home.
