The Greene County Historical Society is inviting the public to a Coffee and Conversation this upcoming Saturday with county attorney Thomas Laehn to explore “The History of Eminent Domain”. Lot of questions have been asked due to the approval from the Iowa Utilities Commission and Governor Kim Reynolds for Summit Carbon Solutions to utilize eminent domain to obtain parcels of land for the construction of a carbon capture pipeline for sequestration and storage. Laehn will present on the history on eminent domain and how it has been used throughout history. After the presentation, there will be time for a question and answer to give attendees a chance to share opinions and try to gain a better understanding. The Coffee and Conversation event is free and open to the public at the Greene County Historical Society at 219 E. Lincolnway in Jefferson starting at 10 a.m. Coffee and light refreshments will be available.
