Plot Of Land Becomes A Bit Of An Issue In Swanton

Several residents of the Westpointe Estates subdivision in Swanton want the Village Council to resist selling a piece of land that borders their properties. Six residents spoke of how valuable the plot is, which is south of the homes on Promenade Drive, is to the subdivision. The area is mostly grass and has been used for years by children in the subdivision for activities such as baseball, Cub Scouts, soccer, and Easter egg hunts. There were also concerns mentioned about selling the land to Toledo Metroparks, which owns the land to the south. Ultimately, Council let the measure to sell the land die without a vote.
