Tennessee using eminent domain to seize farmland to connect electric truck and battery plants to interstate
|
[Blaze] The state of Tennessee is using eminent domain to seize land in order to build connecting roads from a new electric truck plant to the interstate, undervaluing the land of local farmers in a series of lawsuits, according to the Tennessee Lookout.
Blue Oval City, an electric truck and battery assembly complex named after the Ford logo, is set to be operational in 2025. The state's department of transportation has planned a new highway to service the massive development, which would allow employees and shipments alike to travel into and out of the area.
According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the state is looking to purchase or seize 35 separate tracts to construct connections and widenings to link the Ford campus with a new exit to accommodate workers and manufacturing.
The state has taken 15 tracts so far, according to a spokesperson, and is in negotiations with property owners for the remaining 20.
