Condemnation Change Quickens 1-380 Acquisition
The legislature and Governor enact a law letting the highway commission take possession of condemned property 180 days after full payment, with owners free to seek higher awards in court. The measure, backing by Linn and other lawmakers, targets 1-380 delays including the Miska property near Cedar Rapids. The law mirrors federal practice and prompts review of highway planning and timing to avoid future holdups.
