Atchison County counselor hopeful agreement is near on bridge project

“A hearing on the condemnation of property owned by an Atchison County family to allow for a bridge replacement project was continued Tuesday.

However, county counselor Patrick Henderson said he thinks the county and the family are close to reaching an agreement.

The hearing was continued until 9 a.m. March 14 in Atchison County District Court.

Ethel Campbell, of Atchison, received a letter in September saying the Atchison County Commission wanted to acquire a portion of the family farm via eminent domain in order to save money during the replacement of a bridge.”
