McKirdy & Riskin’s Joe Grather was recently interviewed regarding a partial taking of property owned by our firm’s clients in Passaic County by the NJ Department of Transportation in connection with a highway improvement project along Route 46. As indicated in the article in NorthJersey.com, the project will result in the loss of a Clifton family’s pool, rear yard and landscaping and other improvements as the widened highway will move closer to their home. The case is now pending before the valuation panel of commissioners appointed by the court, and may ultimately end up before a Passaic County jury if the matter is not resolved before returning to the Superior Court.
More information on the matter is available here.
