A York County developer unhappy with the money he was paid by the county for the condemnation of his 79 acres was successful in getting a $2 million payoff upped to $17.25 million, with a stop in between.

The jury award of more than $17 million was the largest of the year for York County, according to a supervisor in the prothonotary’s office. Attorneys involved in the case said they were told it would be tough to get their asking price out of what are traditionally conservative juries in York.
