Schererville Town Council voted unanimously Wednesday to buy property at 102–104 Kennedy Avenue for $23,100 to secure right-of-way for the Kennedy Avenue Phase 3 improvement project. The council authorized the town manager, the director of operations, the clerk‑treasurer and the town attorney to finalize purchase documents.

The purchase was described in a presentation by Director of Operations Andy Hanson. "This is for Kennedy Avenue phase 3, parcel number 12," Hanson said. "It's the amount of $23,100. The amount was based on the appraisal and a supplemental amount based on comparable properties in the area. This is for purchasing right of way and temporary right of way, for Kennedy Avenue expansion project." Hanson also identified the parcel as the one shown on the project exhibit and tied the payment to standard appraisal work and local comparables.

The purchase resolution authorizes acquisition of permanent right-of-way and temporary easements needed for construction of the Phase 3 improvements. The council put the motion, which was moved by Mr. Turner, to a voice vote and recorded the motion as carrying 5–0. The resolution delegates authority to execute closing and related documents to municipal staff and counsel.

The council meeting materials list the seller as Monica and Jaworski and identify the parcel as "Parcel 12" for Kennedy Avenue Phase 3. The record did not specify closing date, deed reference, or whether acquisition funds come from a particular capital account or grant; those details were not stated during the meeting.

The council adjourned after routine closing business. The Kennedy Avenue purchase is the most recent formal step recorded; next steps would include completing the conveyance and integrating the parcel into the Phase 3 construction schedule.
