Attorneys: State is dragging out Project Neon property acquisition
“The $1.5 billion Project Neon involves road improvements along a 3.7-mile stretch of Interstate 15 to bring better access to downtown and the area’s medical district.
Since it was announced in 2006, Project Neon also has become known for its eminent domain battles, as landowners affected by the proposed changes aim to get “just compensation” for their land under state eminent domain law.
The Nevada Department of Transportation toes the line between being a steward of taxpayer dollars and offering a fair deal to property owners. But two of the biggest eminent domain attorneys in town argue the transportation agency is dragging out the process far too long, further harming landowners.”
