Laying utilities to the site of the new Allen County Hospital will come to a standstill quickly if permission to cross the property of two landowners is not OK’d, said Corey Schinstock, assistant city manager.
“We’re at a standstill now for the gas lines. We’ll have the water lines taken as far as we can by the end of the week,” Schinstock said.
At issue are the necessary utility easement rights held by Bob Macha, a private landowner, and Della Monsour, owner of Fountain Villa Residential Care Center, along North Kentucky Street.
