Informational Meeting to be held Regarding the Highway 14 Realignment Project from Waseca to Owatonna and the Owatonna West Beltine Project

An informational public meeting regarding the new Highway 14 Realignment Project from Waseca to Owatonna and the West Beltline Project will be held at 7:00 pm on Monday, June 16th, at the Owatonna Public Library, 3rd floor, located at 105 North Elm Avenue in Owatonna.

Dan Biersdorf, of eminent domain firm Biersdorf & Associates, will be speaking at the meeting from a property owner's perspective. Biersdorf will give an overview of the eminent domain process, discuss property owner rights, talk about property valuation errors made by the MN Department of Transportation in relation to this project, and then open the floor to any questions that attendees may have.  Dan will be available to conduct case evaluations after the meeting.

Biersdorf is originally from Owatonna and attended Owatonna High School.  He has worked on eminent domain and other property valuation litigation cases nationwide for over 20 years.  His central office is located in Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to realign Highway 14 from Waseca into the South Side of Owatonna.  This project will cross the new Owatonna West Beltline Project and continue East through the South side of Owatonna.

This project requires the DOT to acquire private property along Highway 14 and near 39th Avenue in Owatonna.  Offers are currently being made to affected property owners.
