It's being described as the most expensive building project in Jacksonville history, and the I-95 Overland Bridge Project also requires extensive use of eminent domain.

The initial project was scheduled to take five years and would be handled in two separate phases of construction. For the initial phase of construction, over 60 property owners were informed that they would lose all or part of their property to eminent domain takings. However, the revised plan for the project is that it will be conducted in a single phase lasting 3 years. As a result over 100 properties are now being subject to a complete or partial taking for this 0.267-mile project. Currently, authorities estimate that the cost of taking these properties will be about $57 million.

If your property is one of those being threatened with taking, you should consult with an eminent domain lawyer to ensure you get full compensation for your property. At the Florida Property Rights Law Firm, we help property owners who are being threatened with eminent domain to fight illegal takings and to get the full value of their property.
