A stаte educаtiоn аgency, fоllоwing all statutory requirements, obtained a parcel of land belonging to Lena through eminent domain. Lena accepted the award of fair market value and did not appeal. For the next fifteen years, the agency held the property but did not implement an educational use for it.
