Footnote 702
320 Acres , 605 F.2d at 803 (“The [scope of the project] rule refines the concept of fair market value only with respect to alterations in value attributable to the [specific government project at issue]. It has no bearing whatsoever upon alterations in value attributable to other events or market forces.”); Granby I , 844 F. Supp. 2d at 674, 675-79 (finding scope of the project rule did not apply, “given the multitude of other plausible—and more likely—explanations for the financial difficulties” of landowner’s proposed development besides alleged project influence); see City of New York v. Sage , 239 U.S. 57, 60-62 (1915) (“The [government] is not to be made to pay for any part of what it has added to the land by thus uniting it with other lots, if that union would not have been practicable or have been attempted except by the intervention of eminent domain. Any rise in value before the taking, not caused by the expectation of that event, is to be allowed, but we repeat, it must be a rise in what a purchaser might be expected to give.”).
