The Radnor Township Board of Commissioners introduced an ordinance that will begin the process of acquiring land from the Valley Forge Military Academy Foundation. The ordinance authorizes the board of commissioners “to select and appropriate by eminent domain certain real estate … for park, recreational and other municipal purposes.” It specifically notes the use of eminent domain to acquire land from the Valley Forge Military Academy Foundation, and “furnishing of security for the payment of damages in accordance with law.” Radnor Township Ward 1 Commissioner Jack Larkin said officials want to use the property for recreational purposes. That could entail a rec center, trails, a park, community gardens and more. "My understanding is they want to sell this," Larkin said of the landowners, which is the Valley Forge Military Academy Foundation.
