Property Agreement Reached In Defiance

An agree­ment has been reached between the Defi­ance City Board of Edu­ca­tion and Defi­ance prop­erty own­ers Talmer and San­dra Hill­man con­cern­ing land just south of the Defi­ance High School cam­pus. Dur­ing a spe­cial meet­ing held yes­ter­day, a res­o­lu­tion was approved that autho­rizes a set­tle­ment of $265,000 for 4.2 acres at 1795 Palmer Drive. Ear­lier this year, the land’s fair mar­ket value was orig­i­nally appraised at $115,000. Now, it clears the way for a new facil­ity to be built along Palmer Drive for grades 6–12, as well as related facil­i­ties and improve­ments to the area. The Hill­mans may stay on the prop­erty until Sept. 30.
