Delphi church fights highway project

DELPHI, Ind. (AP) - The leaders of a north-central Indiana church slated to be razed for a highway project have rejected the state's offer for their land, saying it's not enough for their sanctuary to be rebuilt elsewhere.

The Journal and Courier of Lafayette reports the state Department of Transportation has offered Delphi Pentecostal Church officials $535,000 for their church and 13.3 acres of land.

But pastor Tim Stewart says appraisers estimate it will cost the church between $2.1 million and $2.5 million to replace the church north of Delphi on Indiana 25 that's in the path of a 36-mile section of the Hoosier Heartland Highway.

The church is suing the state in Carroll County for fair compensation. Court-appointed appraisers will report their findings Friday to a judge.
