Hagerstown to draft ’eminent domain’ ordinance on MELP building
“The city took its first step Tuesday night to acquire the beleaguered former Municipal Electric Light Plant, when the Hagerstown City Council voted unanimously to draft an “eminent domain” ordinance to take the property.
Councilman Kristin B. Aleshire made a motion to introduce an ordinance authorizing legal counsel and city staff to begin eminent domain proceedings. It was seconded by Councilman Donald F. Munson.”
