EMINENT DOMAIN (Article 97 Issue) COURT CASE
Berkshire Superior Court, in the eminent domain case filed by Kinder Morgan against the Commonwealth, ruled saying that federal preemption would grant them eminent domain over the Article 97 protected land of Otis State Forest. The MA Attorney General has not chosen to appeal this decision at this point.
