* Businesspeople who own land in the expropriated area are unhappy with the amounts that will be allocated for the compensation process
* 8.52 Euros/square meter of arable land
A large series of businesspeople had a lot to lose following the appraisal report of the plots of land that the airport of Ghimbav will be built on, according to information from inside the County Council of Brașov. Businesspeople bought land in the area at higher prices, but now they will be forced to content themselves with the amounts earned following the application of the law no. 255/2010 concerning the expropriation for reasons of public utility, needed for the achieving of objectives of national, county and local interest.
Last week, the county counselors approved the appraisal report concerning the evaluation report on the way the expropriation of the plots of land will proceed. According to the evaluation report, the compensations to be paid out are as follows: 8.52 Euros / square meters, 5.62 per square meter of hayfield, and 3.75 per square meters of pasture.
Those who lost money include the owner of a construction company which owns a ballast pit in the airport area. He appraised his plot of land and investments at more than 1.2 million Euros, but he will only receive 860,000 Euros following the expropriation of the plot of land in question.
The County Council borrowed 6.311 million Euros from a bank to expropriate the plots of land in the area of the Braşov-Ghimbav international airport, an objective which is currently in the negotiation stage with the only company that submitted a tender - the UTI group of companies.
The airport will span a surface of almost 209 hectares, almost 99 hectares being the property of the County Council of Braşov and thus will not be part of the expropriation process. The Local Council of Ghimbav also owns 62
