Airport lease hearing delayed in Ohio University land case
Franklin County Common Pleas Court postponed the airport land lease hearing as Judge Jay C. Flowers returns to a longer case. The suit by Big Bear Stores seeks to stop a lease of former airport land along Home Street while the state weighs Kroger and Big Bear proposals for E State Street. OU trustees had moved to negotiate with Big Bear for E State parcel and with Lee Skilken for Home Street with a Holiday Inn project, but Kroger bid higher on E State, triggering a court challenge and delays to final decisions on plans including a Supermarket and travel trailer park.
