Most homeowners losing their property have already signed on the dotted line. Some told ABC11 the state was fair, others said they didn't like the deal but felt they had no choice.

Attorneys from the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm planned to attend Monday night's meeting to brief homeowners they believe could still be headed toward negotiations with the state, but have not been notified of right-of-way plans.

The free informational session by the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm will begin at 7 p.m. at The Holiday Inn Bordeaux. For more information about the meeting, call the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm at 1-877-393-4990.
