Acquisition for Airport Expansion: Moore County

In 2006, the Moore County Airport Authority (MCAA) acquired land from a family limited partnership in Moore County, North Carolina for a public roadway right-of-way to relocate a portion of NC Highway 22 and State Road 1843. Emmett Boney Haywood represented the family limited partnership in the North Carolina condemnation action brought by MCAA. The MCAA’s initial deposit was $455,050.00 for 82.5 acres.  Mrs. Haywood negotiated a settlement for $705,000.00, $249,950.00 more than the initial deposit, plus the re-conveyance of 10.7 acres, which MCAA had claimed as an uneconomic remnant.
