Judge Reverses Condemnation Award in Decorah Case
In a first of its kind Iowa supreme court ruling, the court reversed a district court verdict and awarded Decorah resident Robert Wilkes $47,000 for real estate and personal property damages from the Iowa highway commission’s March 1968 condemnation tied to the Highway 9 relocation project. The decision, by Justice Robert Larson, upheld compensation for land and the sale barn at issue, after a Winneshiek County jury had awarded $47,000 in June 1968 and a subsequent 1969 district court retrial was denied.
