Delphos City Council is looking hiring a contractor to move a street, so a multi-million dollar expansion project can get started.  Council had their first reading to hire All Purpose Contracting to relocate Gressel Drive to the east so Lakeview farms can build their expansion where it currently sits.  Delphos had 10 bidders for the project, and All Purpose won the project with a bid of nearly $1.3 million.  lakeview farms is investing around $27 million dollars to expand their commercial food processing plant and add warehouse space.  Which would increase their Delphos plant about 180-thousand square feet.  Thanks to grants, the city has the money needed to relocate Gressel drive and start the expansion.

Council voted to approve an ordinance on its third reading that would allow for the mayor to foreclose on tax delinquent abandoned property in the city of Delphos. This is a preliminary step to work with the Allen County Auditor’s Office expedited foreclosure program with the goal of putting the abandoned properties to a productive use, and the safety service director explained how they would go through that process.
