The Jefferson County Council approved on first reading a bill declaring the public necessity of Flukem Road safety improvements and authorizing the use of eminent-domain powers to acquire required property interests in Council District 6.
Bill 25-10276 was read on the floor as an ordinance authorizing eminent-domain acquisition to enable safety work on Flukem Road.
