Property — eminent domain — relocation expenses

This is a dispute about the amount of compensation The Lamar Company, LLC, d/b/a Lamar Outdoor Advertising is entitled to when the land it leased for its billboard was taken by the Department of Transportation. We reverse and remand because the circuit court’s ruling does not comport with the supreme court’s holding that relocation expenses are distinct from damages for the loss of the fair market value for the property taken.
