Last week I tried a case in York County, PA involving a condemnation of the former York County Prison. My clients purchased the property in the '80s and were waiting for the right time to develop the property when it was taken by the City of York RDA.
The RDA claimed it was worth about $65,000. We presented evidence that the property was worth $1,250,000.
After less than ½ hour, the Jury returned a verdict of $1,250,000 – the full amount we alleged.
It was very gratifying to see that the Jury agreed with our vision for the case and award our client the amount they deserved.
