State highway departments and transportation agencies have a continuing need to keep abreast of operating practices and legal elements of specific problems in highway law. This report continues NCHRPs practice of keeping departments up-to-date on laws that will affect their operations. This digest reports on research that reveals the consequences of new legislation by examining how the new legislation has affected (1) using eminent domain for economic development, (2) condemning blighted and nonblighted property, (3) restricting transfers of condemned property to private parties, and (4) redefining public use. States and localities considering more confining legislation would benefit from the identification of restrictions that could most significantly or adversely affect the cost and timely delivery of state transportation projects. Transportation officials and attorneys should gain helpful insight in dealing with the overall impacts of such legislation. The digest should be useful to transportation administrators; attorneys; transportation planners; state, city, and county legislators; property owners; and real estate professionals.
