Radnor commissioners last month delayed a decision on using eminent domain to take property owned by Wayne Presbyterian Church for a municipal parking lot in Wayne’s business district. But the vote is now expected to happen at the commissions' next meeting. Through a lease agreement dating back to the 1940s, the township has used the parking lot as a municipal lot for the Wayne Business District. Over the past 15 months, the township and the church have been negotiating an updated agreement. In August, the church sent the township a notice to terminate the agreement. Following the church’s notice, the township responded with its decision to use eminent domain. Township officials say there have been a lot of conversations going on between the township and the church.
