Tacoma business displaced by rail line gets $2.5M

Sound Transit will have to pay an additional $2.5 million to the owner of a Tacoma business displaced by a new commuter rail line.

The Associated Press

TACOMA, Wash. —

Sound Transit will have to pay an additional $2.5 million to the owner of a Tacoma business displaced by a new commuter rail line.

Sound Transit acquired Star Ice and Fuel by eminent domain for $8.9 million last spring as part of its plans to extend rail service to Lakewood by 2012.

A Pierce County Superior Court jury found that wasn't enough, and awarded the business an additional $2.5 million.

The ice plant has been at its South Tacoma Way location since it was established in 1887. Company President Richard Reisinger is moving the business to Fife.
