Plainfield approves sale of transportation parcel to Henderson Power Co-op
Summary
At its June meeting, the Plainfield Community School Corp held a public hearing and approved the sale of a vacant transportation parcel to Henderson Power Co‑op; the co‑op said it will use the land to site an electrical substation.
Plainfield Community School Corp trustees held a public hearing at their June meeting and approved the sale of a vacant parcel adjacent to the district’s transportation center to Henderson Power Co‑op.
The hearing opened after the board suspended its regular meeting to consider the proposed disposal of district land. The board said the hearing was held pursuant to Indiana Code 36-1-11-3 and that the district would obtain appraisals and agree on an appropriate sales price with Henderson Power Co‑op.
Greg Tournay of Henderson Power Co‑op described why the company wants the parcel. “We’ve been working for diligently probably for the last 3 or 4 years to try to build a substation in the Air West Commercial Park,” Tournay said. He told the board the commercial park is largely built out and that acquiring the parcel would avoid negotiating multiple separate easements.
Board members heard no public comment during the hearing. After the hearing concluded, the board moved on with its agenda and later recorded that the sale of the transportation land and the related resolution was approved.
The sale clears the way for Henderson Power Co‑op to site infrastructure on district‑owned land; the transcript records that the district will obtain appraisals and agree on a sales price with the buyer. The meeting did not include a recorded motion text, mover/second names, or a roll‑call vote tally in the transcript provided.
The board cited Indiana Code 36-1-11-3 during the hearing, and the district indicated it will follow appraisal and sale‑price procedures consistent with that code.
