Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo is the fee owner of certain real estate known as the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant located at 3040 York Street, Toledo, Ohio. Generations Pipeline, LLC is in the process of constructing a 16-inch subsurface natural gas pipeline for the purpose of providing natural gas service to the Ironville site. The Ironville site is the location of the construction and operation of Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. HBI Production Project. The HBI Production Project located in near proximity of the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant will provide economic development, job creation, and an enhanced tax base for the City of Toledo. Generations Pipeline, LLC has requested a subsurface utility easement from the City of Toledo in order to implement the objectives of this Project. Generations Pipeline, LLC has agreed to reimburse the City, as consideration for the easement grant, the associated City incurred costs. The easement grant will encumber a portion of the northwest perimeter of the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant property, however, it has been determined that the easement grant will not conflict with the City’s current or anticipated and continuing use of the property or plant operations.
