Appeals Over West Franklin Township Land Seizure
Exceptions to a 145 acre condemnation for a mushroom farm challenge Redevelopment Authority power as unconstitutional. Bishop Connare and Mrs. Koessler claim the taking benefits a private entity, not a public need, and argue appraisal and tax lien details were mishandled. The case notes the land overlays limestone mines once owned by US Steel and now controlled by Butler County Mushroom Farms with MACADO plans to buy and re-sell.
