The North Carolina Department of Transportation’s plan to widen North Carolina Highway 211 will impact hundreds of properties in Moore and Hoke counties.
The construction project will take place between Mockingbird Hill Road in Raeford and West Palmer Street in Aberdeen.
The project, which spans over 15 miles, will expand the road into a four-lane highway. More than 400 properties and more than 70 owners will be affected by the development.
Under North Carolina law, if the state wants to acquire an owner’s land, the owner will be made an offer by the state for the property. In many cases, the owners can negotiate the offers, according to recent information released to the news media.
“Knowing what is legally compensable, and having read hundreds of appraisals, there are certain things that quickly jump off the page to an experienced reader,” stated Kevin Mahoney, an attorney at NC Eminent Domain Law Firm and a former Special Deputy Attorney General who represented the NCDOT. “Getting a second opinion on important decisions is the American way and our 'second check' system provides an opportunity for that second opinion.”
The Department of Transportation has allocated more than $54 million in compensation for the property owners who will be affected by the project according to the press statement.
The NC Eminent Domain Law Firm is led by three former attorney generals who have worked for NCDOT. The firm is a division of the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin.
A no-obligation seminar will take place 7-9 p.m. on July 13. Property owners can learn about their rights and ask questions about how they will be affected by the development. The seminar will be virtual.
The firm will also field questions by phone at 1-877-393-4990.

Big T’s has been a local favorite of Hope Mills since 2000 when Timmy (Big T) and Donna Gray first opened right on Hope Mills Lake. It is a seasonal restaurant, so many of Big T’s loyal customers were happy to hear they would now be open year-round, seven days a week.
