Ohio DNR adds 844 acres of public land in Coshocton County
Published: , in Outdoor News
In an attempt to prevent American Electric Power (AEP) from selling off 844 acres of previously strip-mined land in Coshocton County to private developers, the Ohio Division of Wildlife (DOW) recently bought the acreage for $1.8 million, according to John Sambuco, the division’s federal aid lands coordinator.
“AEP is in the process of divesting most of their past power generation land. If we do not act now, those lands will be sold off to private interests, removing them from public recreation,” he said.
