The letters would provide a last <br />written offer for the property owner to sign an Agreement to Acquire a Flowage Easement <br />or reach an agreement with their land agent by a certain date. If an agreement is not <br />reached by that date, legal counsel would be authorized to file an eminent domain <br />proceeding to acquire the Flowage Easement on the property.
