County To Acquire Willard Lots

 From the Capital Journal:

The Shawnee County Commission on Monday will consider initiating eminent domain to acquire three lots the county needs for its project to replace the Willard Bridge.
The Topeka City Council won’t meet this coming week because that body meets only on the first three Tuesdays of each month, and the coming week brings the month’s fifth Tuesday.
County Commissioners Kevin Cook, Shelly Buhler and Bob Archer will meet at 9 a.m. Monday in their chambers in Room B-11 of the Shawnee County Courthouse, 200 S.E. 7th.
Commissioners will consider approving a resolution Cook sponsored that would authorize county counselor Rich Eckert to initiate eminent domain proceedings to take three lots necessary for the Willard Bridge project. The lots are located on Wabaunsee Street in the city of Willard, according to the resolution.
Government entities use eminent domain to acquire private property for public use. Entities must provide just compensation to owners of properties they condemn.
