Lee County Commission tables rezoning request that would allow new concrete plant
“Lee County commissioners voted Tuesday to table a rezoning matter that could result in a new concrete plant coming to the county.
Action was delayed after Commissioner Greg Frich expressed his philosophical concerns about selling land that was previously taken from a Lee property owner through eminent domain and later selling it for commercial purposes.
The delay was approved by a 3-2 vote when it became apparent that commissioners were not certain if the property was seized through eminent domain or if it was a voluntary transaction. Frich said he understood the land was taken in 1995 through eminent domain, but that the owner was cooperative and did not oppose the deal.”
