Jury awards Shaler man $3.75 million for land seized by PennDOT
“An Allegheny County jury this week awarded a Shaler man $3.75 million for the former Millvale Industrial Park site that was taken through eminent domain as part of the Route 28 expansion.
PennDOT offered Andrew Lang, 67, $2 million for his property that bordered Route 28. Lang thought his property was worth $12 million. He filed suit against PennDOT, and a jury issued the award on Wednesday, according to his attorney, Maurice Nernberg.
PennDOT took the property, located between the 31st Street and 40th Street bridges, in 2009. It later paid Lang $2 million. The ruling means the agency will owe Lang $1.75 million plus interest, Nernberg said.”
