Eminent Domain. State Taking Side Yard, Tenants Unhappy

William Coet

Hello,

Through eminent domain, the state has taken title to the side yard (within 8') of a residential rental in order to construct a bridge.  The construction is going to be loud and last for several months and within 20 feet of the building.  The tenants aren't happy! 

The state offered a measly $850 for approx 2,000 sq ft of land, which we declined.   Now we have to make our case in court that they should pay more. 

If anybody has experience with how to approach this to get the state to pay a better price, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance!
