While Lewisburg officials deny they are preparing to seize a 50-foot wide strip of neighboring property to add to 2.5 acres already purchased for construction of a new fire station, the owner of the extra ribbon of land says otherwise.
Last month, the city authorized paying Barnette Development, LLC, up to $600,000 for land on which to build what bond documents indicate will be an $8 million firehouse in the Gateway Commons complex. But an item on the agenda for city councilâs Dec. 15 meeting described as âfunding source for Barnette property purchaseâ was tabled upon a last-minute request by the city attorney.
