BACKGROUND:
The City’s Department of Public Service (DPS) is engaged in the Hayden Run Boulevard, Phase II Roadway (CIP 771009-100000) Public Improvement Project (“Public Project”). The City must acquire certain fee simple title and lesser real estate located in the vicinity of the public right-of-way of Hayden Run Boulevard, Columbus, Ohio 43016 (collectively, “Real Estate”) in order to for DPS to complete the Public Project.
