Eagle Point Park expansion plan proceeds

“The city of Clinton will seize 21.5 acres of a Clinton resident’s property through eminent domain, Clinton City Council members decided Tuesday.

During the regular City Council meeting, the council approved a resolution to use eminent domain to acquire property owned by Tim and Annette Bice near Cragmor and Lakewood drives in order to add to Eagle Point Park.

The property in question falls one foot shy of the drive south of the castle and encompasses part of the parking lot in the same area on the south end of the park.

The move to get the property through eminent domain came after negotiations between the Bices and the city failed.”
