§ 7-45-109. Use of land by toll road or toll highway company - right to repurchase unneeded condemned property

Any interest in real property that is obtained by a preexisting toll road or toll highway company, other than a leasehold interest in property or rights-of-way acquired and owned by the department of transportation as authorized in section 7-45-104, within the three-mile corridor specified and mapped in its filed formation document as was required by section 7-45-101 (1) before June 2, 2008, and any interest in real property that is obtained by a new toll road or toll highway company, other than a leasehold interest in property or rights-of-way acquired and owned by the department of transportation as authorized in section 7-45-104, within the proposed route of the toll road or toll highway proposed by the new toll road or toll highway company on or after June 2, 2008, and that is not used for a toll road or toll highway project shall not be used for commercial, residential, or industrial development; except that this limitation on use shall apply only during the period in which the toll road or toll highway company is developing or operating a toll road or toll highway within the corridor or proposed route. If the development or operation of a toll road or toll highway ceases after the department has exercised the power of eminent domain to acquire property deemed at the time of acquisition to be necessary for the completion of the toll road or toll highway as authorized in section 7-45-104, a person from whom the department acquired property through the exercise of eminent domain has an exclusive option to repurchase the property acquired at the price paid for the property as just compensation by the department. The person may exercise the option within eighteen months following the cessation of the development or operation of the toll road or toll highway.
