Suit against builder settled out of court
The Linn District Court suit by Lowell E. and Dolores E. Ledford of Cedar Rapids against Copper Construction Co. alleged a $152,000 house was uninhabitable. The case sought a $14,500 down payment return and $29,000 in additional money, but was settled with Copper returning the down payment. The house at 2122 Cottage Grove Meadows SE was sold to another party. Construction experts reportedly found the building better than average.
