With work on the County Road 95-Interstate 75 connector road scheduled to begin next week, the Hancock County Commissioners are trying to complete the acquisition of needed right of way. For about a dozen parcels, the route the commissioners are taking is Hancock County Common Pleas Court. About half of the parcels being sought are for temporary road easements, up to roughly a half acre at most. The Huffman property, at 11766 Township Road 99, amounts only to .638 acre. Like most of the others, a portion of the total is pavement, which is owned to the middle of the road.
Eminent domain is defined as the power to appropriate private property for public use.
The commissioners approved a contract last week with S.E. Johnson Co. to build the four-lane connector road. The road is expected to open by December. Men Arrested Inside Credit Union Office City police say an employee of a local credit union probably saved the business a lot of money when she happened to stop by her office Thursday night. Preliminary hearings are scheduled in each case next Wednesday, but the matter is expected to be presented to a Hancock County grand jury on Tuesday. Findlay Police Lt.
