PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 27th day of June, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to the

remaining issue. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

      Whether the Commonwealth Court erred by reversing the [trial court] where
      it held that the taking at issue was for a public purpose and based its
      decision on caselaw addressing the public use requirement for a
      condemnation under eminent domain powers created prior to the passage
      of the Property Rights Protection Act, 26 Pa. [C.S.] § 201, et seq.
