Last night you got a call from a friend who owns a house located just off of Main Street. He got a letter from the County that said they need to widen the road. The letter went on to say that because the County was only taking a 50-foot strip across his front lawn they would not need to reimburse him for his land. He knew you were taking a government class and thought he would ask you if the government could take a small part of his land without paying him. Can the County do this?
