The first meeting is scheduled for 2 p.m. on March 9 in the Conference Room at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. Later that day at 5:30 p.m., a second meeting will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, 9785 North by Northeast Blvd., Fishers.
On March 10, landowners can attend the meeting at 9:30 a.m. at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, 7610 Old Trails Road, Indianapolis.
The federal government issued its order, taking property on Dec. 21, 2018, and Lewis Rice attorneys have filed an initial case, Bradley v. United States, No. 19-400, for compensation on behalf of landowners in Marion, Hamilton and Tipton counties.
There are still several hundred landowners eligible to make a claim.
At the informational meetings, the attorneys will explain why and how a claim can be made against the federal government, timing, how landowners will be represented in pursuing their takings claims, and how compensation will be determined, as well as answer questions. Each meeting is free and open to the public.
