Council authorizes good‑faith offer and potential condemnation for 7 acres near toll road
Summary
Resolution 26R‑07 authorized the redevelopment commission to make a good‑faith purchase offer and, if necessary, file condemnation under IC 32‑24‑1‑5 for roughly 7 acres near the Indiana Toll Road the mayor said has been undeveloped for decades.
The Common Council adopted Resolution 26R‑07 authorizing the redevelopment commission to make a good‑faith offer to purchase roughly seven acres of undeveloped land near the Indiana Toll Road and to file condemnation under IC 32‑24‑1‑5 if necessary. The mayor described the parcels as underused for three decades and said the city had made an offer in 2024 that the owner rejected.
"This resolution on tonight's council agenda will start the condemnation lawsuit so that we could acquire those 2 parcels once we acquire them," the mayor said, adding the city plans to solicit proposals (RFP) for redevelopment once title is secured. The resolution passed unanimously (9–0).
