Commissioners approve distribution easement with Indiana Michigan Power for Justice Center utilities
Summary
The board approved an agreement granting Indiana Michigan Power a distribution easement at the Allen County Justice Center site as part of utility planning for the new jail, county staff said; more utility easements are expected as design proceeds.
Allen County commissioners on May 16 approved an agreement granting Indiana Michigan Power (AEP) a distribution easement at the Allen County Justice Center site to allow the company to install and maintain electrical distribution infrastructure, county staff said.
A staff presenter said the agreement is one of several utility easements being finalized for the new jail project, and that similar easements will follow with NIPSCO and city utilities. The presenter said the location of utilities was identified by the project engineers and the county's owner's representative had reviewed the easement.
A commissioner moved and seconded approval of the agreement; the motion passed by voice vote. The staff presenter said additional utility easements can be expected in coming months as design and utility coordination continue. The easement approval does not itself authorize construction of the jail; it records utility rights on county property so providers can install and service infrastructure if needed.
