Franklin Springboro annexation pact heads to trial in Warren County
Franklin and Springboro face a September trial date in Warren County Common Pleas Court over a disputed annexation. Attorneys say negotiations failed after county commissioners released nearly 1,000 acres for Springboro, while Franklin residents push for annexation of adjacent land including Rt 73 I-75 interchanges, schools, and commercial nodes. The dispute centers on jurisdiction and utilities, with prop osed annexation expanding Franklin eastward and involving a substantial growth corridor.
