Road plan roadblock? Getting the land

IndyStar.com:
"In many cases, farms likely would be gobbled up by the highway, while in some areas, existing homes, businesses and even recent developments might have to be razed.
Some landowners might be more than willing to sell their parcels. Others, however, are likely to put up a fight.
Those land battles, along with approval from the Indiana General Assembly, could be the largest roadblocks to Daniels' plan.
Eminent domain -- the government's seizure of private land -- almost certainly would have to be used to acquire land for the tollway. It would be built and operated by a private company at a cost estimated at $1 billion to $1.5 billion."
