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.
Thanks for that, I was not aware of the magnitude of the potential increase.

Sound advice, and far better then what some other reactions may be.
