Big Tech, Inc. is a large private company based in Columbia, Missouri. Big Tech Inc. wishes to build a laboratory near Mizzou that would be used to develop new products that would help the general public, and this laboratory would be open to the public for general use. Big Tech wants to build the new laboratory on a vacant lot near campus that is currently owned by a Columbia resident named Susette Velo. Big Tech approached Velo and offers to buy the real estate from her at a price that is well above the fair market value of the land, but Velo refuses to sell the property because she does not want them to build the laboratory. Could Big Tech, Inc. use any of its constitutional rights to force Velo to give up her land?
