14-year eminent domain lawsuit yields $14 million payment
“It began more than a decade ago with a $3.5 million offer, but as this paper went to press the Austin City Council was poised to approve a $14.1 million payment that may end a decade-long court battle.
The city’s legal foe: real estate lawyer Harry Whittington. The subject: a downtown block he owned that the city took by eminent domain for a convention center garage.”
