So is this a funded project, or a project in progress? What level of completion are they at, and what is the projected cost?

My parents were notified that transmission lines may need to be laid across their property. I'd rather the utility pay a small monthly rental fee than a lump sum payment, since the loss of enjoyment of the property would be continual rather than a singular event. Then again, we can't expect a new owner to be similarly compensated since they know going in the lines are there.

I don't know how eminent domain works; if people only ever get lump sum payments for the easement, or if there are ongoing compensation schemes.
