If this is for the loathsome “crescent of embrace” memorial, than I definitely hope the land owner prevails. The proposed “memorial” is a disgrace and an abomination. I wouldn’t want to see private property taken for any but the most dire of emergencies in any case.
The designers modified the crescent in the memorial. But it is still there in trees surrounding it. Disgusting. An entire new design is needed.
As far as the property goes, give the owners what they want. It would be peanuts compared to how this gvt spends.
