use to industrial use causing the value
of the property to soar.

usae of the land. He said that the zone
change was part cf a routine update of
Lincoln's Comprehensive Plan and was
not proposed by the owner cf the
property.-

year and purchased the 8.6 acre tract '. "
in December for $151,020, based on a

$100,000 price before the state pur
chased the land, they would have recon
