At this time actual right-of-way impacts are still being determined because until we get environmental clearance nothing is guaranteed. After that, if we did get a finding of no significant impact and we start the right-of-way acquisition it would go through the normal process. Once it has been determined that a property is going to have acquisition on it, the right-of-way team would reach out to the property owner. Each property will get their own individual drawing showing what impacts they had. You would then be able to get an offer from PennDOT which would tell you how much they are willing to pay and then you can negotiate with PennDOT on that. There is a lot of stuff that goes into that for coverage where PennDOT pays for independent appraisals and covers a lot of the costs for the property owner during the negotiation process too.
Please note that the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that are on the project website. One of the questions does talk about what happens if PennDOT needs my property for the project. Listed under that question is a brochure that talks about the right-of-way acquisition process for property owners.
If your property is impacted, you will be contacted by the PennDOT acquisition team and PennDOT’s acquisition team will listen to all of your issues and involve the engineering team during that negotiation process, to make sure that the best solution is put in place for any impacted property owners.
