| Asheville River Arts District Transportation Improvement | In conjunction with $200 million in mixed-use private development along Asheville's River Arts District, a $50 million tax-funded investment will reroute roads and increase pedestrian accessibility. The city has hired Code Studio, an Austin-based land planning firm, to conduct meetings and workshops with new residents to develop new “form-based” zoning rules for the area. New roads and pedestrian pathways may be routed through existing properties, and new zoning rules may drastically alter the landscape of the neighborhood. Code Studio consultants are now working through plans for the updated River Arts district.

| U.S. 74 Shelby Bypass | The U.S. 74 Bypass around Shelby, North Carolina, is an 18.5-mile, four-lane, divided highway that will extend west of Peachtree Road near Mooresboro to the existing US 74 route west of Long Branch Road. Projected to cost more than $284.8 million dollars, the first two phases of the project, R-2707A and R-2707B, have already been funded by the state. Some property owners in the path of the project are already facing eminent domain.
If your home, business, or land is affected, you have the legal right to file an immediate land condemnation claim. This means you can either negotiate or litigate with the State of North Carolina to increase the compensation paid to you for the loss of your land.
US 74 Inverse Condemnation ClaimsThree additional phases of the project—R-2707C, R-2707-D, and R-2707E—are not yet underway, but have been affecting property owners for many years by restricting what they can and cannot do with their land. These claims are called “inverse condemnation claims” because the state treats these properties as “protected corridors.” That means that property owners cannot develop their land, subdivide their properties, or significantly renovate existing structures.

As a result, our North Carolina land condemnation lawyers have filed a number of North Carolina Map Act lawsuits against the state, alleging that the protected corridors are unconstitutional and wrongfully deprive landowners of the use of their land. One such lawsuit filed by Henson Fuerst involves the matter of Stan Queen v. North Carolina Department of Transportation. |

| Future NC 540 | N.C. 540 Southeast Extension project was developed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in order to meet the growing population and traffic in southeastern Wake county.
For this project, 16 Alternative Route options were created however in April 2016, NCDOT selected the "orange-green-mint-green" for construction. This route was selected based on public input as well as federal, state and local agency partners. Fortunately, out of all the alternatives that were presented, this one minimizes the amount of residents and businesses that would have to relocate.

| U.S. 70 Improvements in New Bern/James City | U.S. 70 Improvements in New Bern/James City is a 2.5 mile long project that stretches from Garner Road to the Neuse River Bridge. This project is one part of the U.S. 70 Corridor Improvement Project- which stretches from Raleigh to Morehead City, North Carolina. The U.S. 70 Corridor is one of the primary east-west corridors across eastern NC. By improving this corridor, NCDOT also anticipates economic development in the predominately rural parts of eastern NC.
In order to improve traffic flow in this area, significant modifications will be made to the interchanges at Williams, Airport and Grantham roads. Right of way acquisition is currently in progress. The project is estimated to cost $66 million and construction is expected to take up to five years.
Project MapsAs of January 2018, there were four possible design plans that included alternatives for interchanges along US 70 to either be above or below current grade. These alternatives were created after receiving feedback from community members after the proposed project was presented. Maps of these 4 alternatives may be viewed below.Alternative A1
