City Decisions Blocking Access to Company Land
You need to retain a well connected municipal attorney from your city as soon as possible. Decisions like the ones effecting your company are often best addressed politically, although at some point, municipal decisions become a "taking" which may entitle you to due process and compensation through the courts. An experienced lawyer with lots of experience dealing with your city will be able to help you on both fronts. You also may have rights related to your use of the land being an earlier use than that now planned by the city. Good luck!
