URBANA — Champaign County Board members voted Thursday night to authorize the use of eminent domain in the event that negotiations break down on the purchase of property for the long-debated Olympian Drive project north of Urbana.

The board voted 15-9 to grant County Engineer Jeff Blue and legal counsel the authority to acquire the property by condemnation if a mutually acceptable price for the land cannot be reached by Oct. 1.

There was virtually no debate on the issue, although Republican board members had spent much of their pre-meeting caucus complaining about the use of eminent domain. The nine votes against authorizing its use came from eight Republicans and one Democrat, Pattsi Petrie of Champaign. Twelve Democrats and three Republicans — Gary Maxwell, Max Mitchell and Jon Schroder — voted to authorize the use of eminent domain.

The Olympian Drive project, which involves building a bypass connecting a north Urbana industrial area with Interstate 57, has been a controversial issue for years. Although the city of Urbana is building the project, the land is in the county and therefore has required county approval at virtually every step.

Mahomet Republican Stephanie Holderfield said she voted against the use of eminent domain because it is a property-rights issue.
