LISBON County commissioners approved the vacation of a portion of White Road following a public hearing during their meeting on Wednesday.
The road is in the West Point area of Madison Township and is surrounded by property owned by West Point Renewables LLC, which was represented at the meeting by Joe Coyle.
According to Coyle, the company was looking to vacate the roadway on the map, which he noted does not even follow the actual asphalt.
“We’re not intending to jam or landlock anyone up,” Coyle said, following the comments by two men who spoke about their concerns regarding the vacation of the road.
