Great!

If giving up my land for these projects will have such positive results, I should be compensated well above the market rates for otherwise similar properties, no?



The definition of the market rate for a unique item (such as a parcel of land) is what both seller and buyer agree to; thus you can not be paid above market rate.


Forget about paying above market rate. In most cases the compensation paid is like 5% of the market rate.

And in most places there is nothing like the seller even agreeing to it. A court order is passed, you are paid some peanuts and asked to evacuate.


"...for otherwise similar properties"
