Teacher Asks Dismissal of Condemnation Suit in Plum Orchard Farm
Fayetteville RNS reports D C Ashworth attorney for Lacy N Darlington of Oak Hill asks Fayette County Circuit Court to dismiss a State Conservation Commission condemnation petition.

The state seeks about 105 acres for a 200 acre lake and 2800 acre recreation area.
