{Louisville, Kentucky}...The owners of an eastern Louisville tract of land that's in the path of a planned Ohio River bridge say they are moving ahead with plans to develop a subdivision with two marinas, but the state is moving to condemn 11.28 acres of the site to make way for the bridge. Attorney Bill Bardenwerper says, even if the Riverside Village subdivision is never built, getting a plan approved could enhance the land's value. The land is owned by the Harrods Creek Land Management Association, headed by retired Glenmore Distillery chairman James "Buddy" Thompson. Kentucky Bridges Project Manager Gary Valentine says the state has purchased 93 of the 106 properties it intends to buy on the Kentucky side of the river. Of the remaining 13, the state is still in negotiations with one, and the Riverside Village site is among a dozen that have been turned over for condemnation action.
