A petition for annexation to the city of Delphos was resubmitted to Allen County Commissioners this morning.
This is not the first attempt to annex the land. An expedited annexation request was brought before Delphos City Council in May, drawing significant public interest. While the city supported the move, Marion Township Trustees opposed the expedited portion of the request. As a result, the property owners are now pursuing a standard annexation process, which requires a public hearing.
The city of Delphos is seeking to annex part of Marion Township for the development of a potential large gas station. According to Delphos Mayor Andre McConnahea, an expedited annexation is being pursued at the intersection of Lincoln Highway and Lehman Road, on the south corner across from Love’s.
