Gas pipeline firm threatens eminent domain to seize land
“The developer of a $750 million natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania into New York has threatened to seize land from reluctant landowners through eminent domain.
A letter obtained by the Albany Times Union (http://bit.ly/12SNKHQ) tells landowners who have refused to sell rights of way for the Constitution Pipeline that they have until Wednesday to accept offered prices. After that, developers will take them to court to force such sales for possibly less money.
The letter was sent from the law firm Saul Ewing.”
