This Florida woman may lose her 1800s house so the state can build a highway using eminent domain. Here's how
A 19th century home in Sanford, Florida that survived hurricanes and a nearly two-mile move to its current spot may soon be bulldozed to make room for a highway. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Officials from the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) are planning to build a two-lane road designed to relieve traffic congestion in Seminole County by connecting State Road 417 and the Orlando Sanford International Airport. But according to news reports from the Tampa Bay Times and WESH 2, the preferred route, known as Alignment 2A, runs straight through the 10-acre property where Becky Burke's home sits — an 1800s-era two-story house that has already been relocated once to escape demolition. A map revealed the road would be 'going through my dining room,' she said. If the plans move forward, the state is expected to use eminent domain to seize the land. But Burke, whose husband Ken passed away in August, may not have the strength to relocate the home all over again. She told WESH 2 it will depend on how much money she's given and how much land the government takes. "I love it out here," she said. "Knowing it was Ken's family, his history, his grandfather passed away here, he passed away here, so there's so much emotion that goes into that piece of what I'm facing." The couple moved the house in 2003 after the original land it sat on was sold to developers. Relocating the structure was no small feat — it took from July to November to complete, just in time for Thanksgiving. "That was quite a feat,' Burke told WESH 2. 'I think I wired every outlet in the house.' That effort preserved more than a structure; it preserved a family's history. "If the legacy ends with me, that's fine, I'm OK with that," she said. "But the emotional loss, it's like, one more thing. One more thing to break my heart, one more thing to make me just feel a little overwhelmed and sad." The new roughly two-mile road has a tentative budget of $200 million. The CFX says it will reduce the number of cars per day on Lake Mary Boulevard by nearly half by 2050. "For those of you who travel in and out of our amazing airport, you know the traffic backs up over there," said Rebekah Arthur, president of the Seminole County Chamber, according to WESH 2. "So this connector is going to be a very needed extension to our airport and will help people come in and out, especially as our sports tourism grows." Read more: No millions? No problem. With as little as $10, here's of diversified assets usually only available to major players According to the Tampa Bay Times, the CFX estimates it will spend $18.3 million for the acquisition of properties along the right-of-way. Eminent domain is a legal process that allows governments to take private property for public use, such as highways or bridges, provided the owner is given 'just compensation.' But just because it's legal doesn't mean it always feels fair. Owners like Burke should expect to be paid market value for their homes, but that may not always cover the full cost of relocation or compensate for the emotional stress. In Florida, property owners have the right to challenge eminent domain in court. They can: Dispute the taking itself: This is an option if property owners believe the land isn't truly needed for a public project. Challenge the compensation amount: If the offered payment doesn't reflect the property's fair market value, owners can argue for a higher fee. Negotiate relocation: Owners can argue that relocation benefits offered are not sufficient. Partial takings: When only part of a property is taken, owners can argue that the impact on the remaining property is not being fairly compensated. If you live or own property in the area, there are steps you can take to have your voice heard. The CFX will hold two public meetings in July where residents can ask questions and voice concerns about the project. Attending those meetings is one of the best ways for impacted homeowners to stay informed, get involved, and advocate for better outcomes — whether that means alternate routes or help preserving historic properties. The Tampa Bay Times says the CFX's governing board — made up of elected officials from the Central Florida region — will then review the project at its October public meeting. As for Burke, the future remains uncertain. 'I'm always the one that's trying to encourage other people and love on them and care for them,' she said. 'And now, I'm in this place where I don't know where God is leading me.' This tiny hot Costco item has skyrocketed 74% in price in under 2 years — but now the retail giant is restricting purchases.

But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'.

FCC chairman climbs 200-foot Nexstar tower, lays out policy agenda
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission visited Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Wednesday, promoting his 'Build America' agenda for the FCC. Chairman Brendan Carr first stopped by the KELOLAND Media Group studio. KELO is a sister station of this news organization. Along with touring the station, Carr went hundreds of feet in the air. 'As FCC Chairman, I want to make it easier for America's telecom crews and tower techs to build out new networks and modern infrastructure,' Carr said in a news release about the trip to formally roll out his agenda. In the news release, Carr said he held his first policy speech in Sioux Falls because that's where he 'first put on a hardhat and harness to climb a tower.' 'The Build America agenda sets the guideposts that the agency will use to do exactly that—unleashing more investment and innovation, putting more shovels in dirt, and increasing connectivity for Americans in communities all across the country. In other words: it's time to build,' Carr said ahead of his visit. Carr then climbed the KELOLAND-TV tower outside our station, which is just over 200 feet, before departing for the formal speech at the Vikor Headquarters. Vikor is a wireless infrastructure construction company. During that speech, Carr focused his remarks on trimming red tape and modernizing infrastructure. Carr announced plans to phase out copper wire technology in favor of new high-speed networks. He also said changes would make it easier to attach high-speed lines to utility polls and other initiatives to streamline regulations. He announced the FCC would be moving to free up spectrum and auction it off, using those funds to replace aging infrastructure. He also pointed to early successes in speeding up the satellite permitting and launch process. 'The Build America agenda will expand America's space economy,' Carr said to the assembled crowd. 'I want to see U.S. companies dominate in orbit.' Carr said the package of policy initiatives would 'expand and strengthen America's blue-collar workforce.' Using the time to highlight the sometimes unseen work that keeps our communities connected. Carr, who had served as a FCC commissioner since 2017, was appointed FCC chairman by President Donald Trump in January.
