The benefits to be derived from this project are expanded toll capability from DelandCisco-Argenta-Oreana to Decatur and future benefits of digital central office capability. Overall, completion of this project will provide a higher level of service to the area. The easement will consist of a strip of land two (2) rods wide, running a distance of approximately 5,330 feet, located adjacent to and parallel to the existing rightof-way line along the east side of Township Highway 300E in the northwest corner of the Allerton Park farm lands. Authorization of this easement will not interfere with University programs or operations. The chancellor at Urbana recommends that the easement be granted. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.
