Court upholds airport award
Friday July 23rd, 2010
The South Dakota Supreme Court ruled that
owners of land taken for an airport expansion at Spearfish were
properly compensated for 206 acres and can come back if future
regulations diminish the value of another 309 acres.
The issue was whether possible future FFA restrictions tied to
the runway expansion would affect the value of the land not
condemned by Lawrence County.
The court upheld a jury's award of $1.2 million for the 206
acres and said a judge was correct in ruling that possible lost
value for the remaining land shouldn't be considered by the jury.
