Ind. Courts - "Settlement offer is on the table in 8-year-old courthouse project legal fight"

That is the headline to this long "breaking news" story posted by Nick Schneider, Assistant Editor, on the Greene County Daily World webpage. The story begins:

The more than eight-year legal battle by the county to recover damages associated with the Greene County Courthouse addition/renovation project may be over soon.

A joint meeting of the County Commissioners, County Council and Building Corporation is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Monday [ILB: June 27th] to consider a settlement agreement resolving all claims in the county's civil suit against United Consulting Engineers and others that is pending in Owen Circuit Court.

Before the public meeting, the three governmental bodies will meet in a joint executive session at 3 p.m. where legal advisors will spell out the details of the settlement proposal. * * *

The seven-count, 25-page lawsuit was originally filed Dec. 30, 2004 in Greene Circuit Court on behalf of the county commissioners and building corporation against United Consulting Engineers, Inc., Indianapolis; architects DLZ Indiana, LLC, Indianapolis; and general contractors Weddle Brothers Construction, Co., of Bloomington.

The ILB has a number of earlier entries, including a link to this still-available story from July 27, 2009, headed "Greene County Courthouse lawsuit tops $1 million in legal fees and counting."
