Sign this campaign to keep a local hobby shop in Texas. As of this post, they only need 136 more signatures. I think we can provide them with that!
Something is missing here. Has Mike hired a lawyer or real estate expert, or both? Have negotiations begun? There is a long list of the types of additional damages
that can be recovered here, like damage to the remainder, loss of business, etc. If the State is pushed, a business can get a lot more than the value of the land taken, in the case of a partial taking, like here. I have seen some cases where the business came out in very good shape. Of course, it is a great big drawn out hassle.
