Property Impact Overview
To expand transportation facilities, government agencies may need to acquire land, or right of way (ROW), from private property owners.
- Private property rights are protected by both the Virginia and United States Constitutions. Land may be acquired only after careful study and “just compensation” for the owner.
- In the Richmond Highway BRT corridor, each property impact has been carefully considered to minimize the need for acquisition.
- FCDOT is following county, state, and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) procedures which ensure property owners are treated fairly and respectfully.
