This is one of the things I always fear. If the Road widening is necessary
for the general publics welfare and safety, and there is no other
alternative, and a Court sees fit, they can move the Cemetery under the
Rights of Eminent Domain. Simply stated this means (You can't Stop Progress)
Apparently the County has no other options, or I am sure they would exercise
them, rather than move any of the Cemetery.That is going on in St. Louis,
Missouri at this time. A cemetery is being moved because the hill it sits on
happens to now be in the way of an Airports take off's and landings.
Endangering the Public.You may have a different situation there. I hope so.
Is it a matter the DNR can look at.?
Someone else may have a much better answer. Good Luck,
