GORHAM — A Superior Court judge has ruled Gorham property owners who sued to stop OHRV traffic in the Route 2/Lancaster Road neighborhood had their property illegally taken and are entitled to damages.

In a decision released last week, Grafton Superior Court Justice Lawrence MacLeod said the decision by the state and town to permit OHRV use in the town is “an unconstitutional taking of the plaintiffs’ properties by inverse condemnation” and ruled “each plaintiff homeowner is entitled to just compensation as damages.”
