Village Declares Intent to Acquire Eight Gordon Lots
MIDDLEPORT. The village council passed a resolution to appropriate eight Bosworth Addition lots for a park or public playground after negotiations with Baker Gordon failed. Gordon’s asking price ranged from 1400 to 1500, with a 1000 to 1400 final offer reported by solicitor O Brien. The case may go to court to establish fair market value, and a jury would decide. Council members Gibbons, Jenkins, Young, Bunce, Wiley, and McFhinny approved. Mayor Russell presided.
