Christy & Ben


Christy and Ben bought this house in January, 2000. She's a graduate student in math education at the University of Maryland; he's a structural engineer.

They checked the master plan before buying their house. There was no sign of the ICC. Now the centerline of the current alignment of the ICC goes right through the kitchen they just remodeled.



They bought the house as a fixer-upper. Together, they have completely renovated it, doing all the work themselves, and investing all their resources in it. No one at the State will give a straight answer regarding compensation to homeowners for property taken and destroyed. Ben and Christy are worried they will lose everything.
