After private executive session, Lower Saucon Council authorizes condemnation of two properties
Summary
Following an executive session on litigation and real-estate matters, the council voted unanimously to authorize the solicitor to proceed with condemnation actions for properties at 2226 Nursery Lane and 2170 Johnson Avenue.
After returning from an executive session that addressed potential litigation and real‑estate matters, the Lower Saucon Township Council voted to authorize condemnation proceedings for two identified parcels.
Council president moved to authorize the solicitor to proceed with condemnation of the property identified as 2226 Nursery Lane; the motion passed by roll-call vote. A subsequent motion to authorize condemnation of 2170 Johnson Avenue likewise passed by roll call.
The council stated no official action was taken during the closed executive session itself, but that council could entertain motions in open session. No further details about the reasons for pursuing condemnation, appraisal values, intended public uses or timelines were offered in the open meeting. Council recorded both authorizations as 5-0 votes.
Because the motions followed a closed session that included litigation and real-estate discussions, council indicated staff and the solicitor will proceed with next steps consistent with applicable law; the meeting did not disclose additional factual or legal grounds for the condemnations in open session.
