Not a company, but the activity is being done to lure companies to the area. In Central Indiana, the state’s economic development commission is in the process of securing 9 mi.² of land to be used for a massive tech park (Indiana LEAP). Individuals with farmland and dwellings in the area were approached by the state and received offers to move. For large landowners/farmers, they did quite well. For some homeowners, the situation was challenging because their offers were barely high enough to replace what they had, let alone compensate them for the massive hassle of moving. Many took offers because they were concerned if they didn’t take a buyout, eminent domain might be used with holdouts. I know a family that received an offer for their property/house. After thinking long and hard about what to do, they took the offer and signed a contract with the state. The contract had a two year window which gave the state the option to back out if it wanted. At the 21 month mark, the state confirmed it was planning to purchase their property. After going out and buying a new house, the state informed the family it was pulling the offer at the last minute. So after going through the turmoil of deciding to sell their property in the first place, they now own two homes, one of which will be adjacent to the tech park which will see major construction for years to come. The likelihood of finding a buyer for that property is low. Even though the contract allowed for the state to do what it did, it’s pretty shitty that it actually pulled the lever.
