Joseph Grenga continues his fight to keep his property

Joseph Grenga and his building at 128 W. Rayen, Youngstown.
YOUNGSTOWN — Joseph Grenga isn’t giving up his fight to prevent the city from seizing his property and demolishing it under eminent domain law.
Grenga has objected to a magistrate’s decision that gave the city permission to take and raze his property for a street extension in conjunction with Youngstown State University’s new $34.3 million business school.
Grenga filed his objection Monday to Magistrate Dennis J. Sarisky’s Dec. 16 decision to grant the city a writ of possession, entitling the city to seize Grenga’s machine storage facility at 128 W. Rayen Ave.
Although Sarisky issued the decision, the actual writ of possession was given to the city the same day by Judge James C. Evans of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court to take effect in 60 days.
The city and its Cleveland lawyers are seeking to take Grenga’s building to enable a northward extension of Hazel Street in conjunction with the business school, for which the university broke ground in October.

There you go...keep fighting the futile fight until you burn through the $200K the city's offering on attorney fees and end up with less then you had before.
Again you're 80 years old and have made little progress in realizing your master plan so far. We could wait another ten years and the only thing that would change is the accumulation of more obsolete equipment stored in buildings which should be condemmed.
I think I read that he is representing himself. A shrewd way to save money...and lose the case in the process.
can't they just forget the road extension? Will it doom this new busniess school? I don't think so and if they would just drop it none of this would have had to happen. Since everytihg seems to tihnk it's just a old run down wearhouse why don't you all go there to see for yourself? What's he have to lose, repsect form some people? What's the city have to lose, a lot of money they can not afford to.?
Who CARES!
My God Vindicator the guy is a bum and you keep giving him press. Guess what, he is not going to win!
