Conn. Gen. Stat. § 13a-85b
Should any properties situated within the existing right-of-way acquired for potential use as a limited access highway from Danbury to Norwalk which are not currently owned by the Department of Transportation be offered for sale to the state, the Commissioner of Transportation may, within available funds, acquire said properties upon terms and conditions which are equitable to both the property owner and the state. The commissioner may, within available funds, acquire any properties not currently owned by the Department of Transportation that are situated within such right-of-way when such properties come onto the market for sale and if such purchase would (1) alleviate particular hardship to a property owner, on his request, in contrast to others because of an inability to sell his property; or (2) prevent imminent development and increased costs of a parcel which would tend to limit the choice of highway alternatives.
