Barron, Adler, Clough & Oddo, PLLC partner Nicholas Laurent was recently quoted in KXAN’s article “Travis County seeks eminent domain for landfill facing environmental concerns.” The article examines Travis County’s decision to pursue eminent domain over the long-closed County landfill along U.S. 290 in Austin, Texas – a site now facing significant environmental concerns identified by state regulators.

The article infers that the County’s move reflects a complicated mix of overdue remediation, shifting responsibility and the present-day impacts on the developer and current landowner, Graham Development and Moo Moo Meadows, LLC. Laurent described the process by which Travis County may begin the condemnation process. 

“The landowner in this case seems to believe that the county is not fulfilling its obligations, and the county appears to be taking the position that it has been,” Laurent shared with the reporter. “Ultimately, the county is now saying – regardless – we’re going to take it.”

Barron, Adler, Clough & Oddo, PLLC attorneys advocate for clients affected by government takings of this nature, ensuring that property rights are protected and that any compensation reflects the full scope of the impact.
