Description

The Fayetteville outer loop, also known as I-295, has been influencing road construction and traffic flow – and affecting property owners – in Cumberland County for years. Multiple projects are still underway, and now the NCDOT is moving to widen the last 3.3 mile stretch of Camden Road between Hope Mills Road and I-295.

The project seeks to widen the two-lane road to a four-lane road with a raised median. To do so, the NCDOT will take some or all of nearly 200 parcels of land along that stretch. For homeowners, this could bring traffic closer to their doors and reduce the value of their properties drastically. For business and commercial property owners, it could mean losing parking, signage, and even access as traffic flow is altered. These factors combined could greatly reduce their ability to do business.

And no matter what kind of property is affected, these takings may alter the parcel in such a way as to make structures – homes or businesses – nonconforming, rendering them difficult or impossible to use or sell.

Property owners should bear these facts in mind, and be aware that the NCDOT’s initial offer may not account for the real value of the property, and may not take into account the effect of the taking on the property’s ability to conform to the rules. Projects along Camden Road have claimed some or all of numerous parcels. One woman lost her home. She was reimbursed, but did not feel the process was fair, according to news reports.

Nearly 200 properties will be affected by this new phase of widening, and the NCDOT has set aside approximately $7.2 million to compensate property owners along this 3.3-mile stretch. The projected project completion date is sometime in 2025.

There are only a handful of attorneys in NC who practice eminent domain exclusively, and even fewer with NCDOT experience. We have several. That’s why its worth getting in touch with us for a free case evaluation.

Here’s how it works:

1) Tell us about your situation.

2) We research your property as needed, using DOT maps, our own technology, and experience to see the exact effects.

3) We let you know what we think a fair offer would be. This evaluation is free, and there’s no
pressure or obligation to hire us after.

But please don’t wait to act. Waiting can hurt your case, and the cost is the same: free.
