Lawsuit moves forward against Project NePTWNE lease
In an ongoing lawsuit regarding the leasing of space inside the Blasco Library for a water research lab, a judge has denied a motion by Erie County and Gannon University that would have removed part of that lawsuit.
The group Keep Our Library Public continues to fight the leasing of space inside Blasco.

That motion was to dismiss a portion of the suit regarding the Dedicated or Donated Property Act, meaning donated property should be used for the purposes they were originally dedicated or donated for.
According to a statement from Keep Our Library Public, a judge has sided with the group, sending all claims in their lawsuit forward to a potential trial.
Other claims include that Erie County Executive Brenton Davis violated both fiduciary duty and county code by agreeing to a less-than-favorable lease.
