Its used to be called imminent domain, we did it all the time in the past for things like our highway system.

I’ve always seen it as “eminent domain” but I like your take way better.

Shouldn’t be that hard to greenlight the projects with support first, and the work on details later of those with objections. These folks want their communities to prosper, and infrastructure, jobs and development can only help. Whether it be using some of the local workforce on projects or simply helping infrastructure projects along the way there must be a mutually beneficial way to proceed.
