Airport land may be dry if annexation date affects sale
A $3.5 million lease of 28.6 acres that housed Ohio University's former airport faces risk if Athens city dry status applies. The Ohio University Kroger Skilken contract hinges on whether the land was annexed before or after the 1938 dry vote, potentially blocking beer sales at Kroger and spirits at Skilken. Local officials audit city records for the annexation date as construction plans press forward.
