State seeks less than an acre for public purposes

For public purposes at Fair Play, the state is making an offer of $22 thousand.  According to a filing in the Oconee Common Pleas Court, a 30-day clock has begun on a “just compensation” determination for a 0.23 of an acre on SC 182 (the Oakway Road).  It’s part of a SCDOT improvement project at SC 59, 243, and 182. If the tender is rejected, according to this week’s court filing, the DOT reserves the right to file a condemnation notice.  The state’s plans for the three-way intersection may be inspected at the DOT’s Maintenance Office at Richland.
