Section 3. (A) This section is remedial, with the purpose being to correct an error in the description of the Blanchester Armory in Am. Sub.

H.B. 376 approved the conveyance of the Blanchester Armory, located in Clinton County, Ohio, being no longer needed for armory or military purposes. The description of the armory in that act was inadequate as it included only one of the two parcels of real estate that comprise the Blanchester Armory property. Section 2 of that act contained a description for a parcel of real estate designated as "Parcel No. 15," which is the same parcel as "Parcel No. 1" described in division (B) of this section. The act did not contain a description of an adjacent parcel which is owned by the state and is also part of the Blanchester Armory property. Because of the omission, the Governor's deed to convey the Blanchester Armory property could not be recorded. The adjacent parcel is described in division (B) of this section as "Parcel No. 2."

The terms of the conveyance authorized in this section were established by the Director of Administrative Services pursuant to division (B) of Section 2 of Am. Sub. H.B. 376 of the 121st General Assembly.
