A jury has found that the MBTA did not shortchange a landowner for property it took by eminent domain to build a South Coast Rail layover station — and in fact, the MBTA is due some money back.

In February 2020, the MBTA used eminent domain to take about 18 acres of property belonging to Weaver’s Cove LLC along North Main Street to build the Weaver’s Cove Layover station as part of its commuter rail project.

The MBTA at the time made what’s known as a pro tanto payment to Weaver’s Cove of $2,288,950 for the land. A payment "pro tanto" means the amount was temporarily settled but could change if disputed.
