Westfield homeowner loses land for expansion of Monon Trail
“The games are underway at Grand Park, Westfield’s new 360-acre, championship-level sports campus.
But it’s 12 feet of one homeowner’s driveway that’s landed the state in court.
The state wants to connect the new complex to the Monon Trail. When Jeremiah Emerich refused to sell a portion of his land, the state took it through eminent domain.
The property in question is at the entrance of the park at the intersection of Tomlinson and Wheeler Road, near 186th Street.”
