Construction of freeways, or airports and even schools are often legitimate reasons for eminent domain.
But the use of e.d. for a private development (as in Conneticutt) is not. This case seems to combine questionable tactics and methodology with what may or may not be a legitimate use of e.d. But anyone who lives near a major University should be aware that expansion is highly probable.
Sure...I can agree with that. But...it should be done fairly...and it should be done rarely.

True, but property owners do not have to accept the initial offer for their properties. Eminent Domain seziures can be successfully appealed for (in most cases) a lot more than the initial offer.
What most folks don't realize is that appeals can be based on the future value of the proposed project that is the basis of the seziure. In cases that are appealed on that basis land owners can often reap as much as 10 to 15 times the initial offer.
Every one affected by this needs to enlist the services of attorneys who specialize in eminent domain cases.
