An Essex County jury awarded $2.9 million on June 22 to the owner of a plot of land in the center of Bloomfield that was condemned by the town. But the award, in Township of Bloomfield v. Bloomfield Daval Corp., is on hold while the township appeals the verdict.
The site, on Lackawanna Place, consists of two-thirds of an acre of land and a former train station. Bloomfield valued the property at $440,000, but property owner Bloomfield Daval appealed the valuation. The property owner put the property’s value at $3.2 million, and a jury arrived at the $2.9 million figure following a two-week trial before Superior Court Judge Robert Gardner.
