Why did the East Montgomery County Improvement District sue TXDOT? The board thought it was important to show a jury the loss of value in the land:
- lost a great deal of functionality as a large event community center
- Condemned property included a parking lot that affects functionality
- The State’s proposed remediation parking plan was inadequate to serve the district’s needs or that of the community
- Condemned Property prohibits expansion of the districts education wing
What was the offer by TXDOT? $1.6 million ($2 — $2.50 per square foot)
What was the jury award? $4,032,142 ($7 – $7.50 per square foot)
