The farm's owner said this may not be the end of the fight.
Wilson Farm Market "Even if you have never stopped here and you traveled between Indy and Kokomo since '68, you've seen versions of this building," said market owner Scott Wilson."It's kind of become a landmark."
For the past several months, it appeared that the landmark was going to be torn down after INDOT announced it would be taking the property through eminent domain.Now those plans have been scrapped after INDOT withdrew their intent to claim the land."Apparently, we are going to stay a little bit longer because INDOT doesn't want us anymore," said Wilson.
In a statement to 13News, INDOT said they shifted gears after the strong response from the community. "After comments received from the public regarding the proposed cul-de-sac at 256th St. and US 31, INDOT revisited the design of the Limited Access project. Due to design changes in response to these comments, INDOT has withdrawn its intent to acquire the Wilson Farm Market property.
Wilson said it was never about the building and that for the right road project, he'd give it up. As for what that right project is, he thinks it should improve access to the township and make travel easier for first responders."I'm going to keep the building for now and we are going to keep fighting for an exchange. In doing so, I know we will ultimately lose the building, but we will figure that out on the way. That's something we have always known," said Wilson.
