The Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s decision upholding the Todd County Board of Commissioners’ decision to rescind the conditional vacation of County Road 55. The decision was based on changed circumstances due to the inability to re-align Highway 27 because MnDOT required indemnification, public opposition, and mounting legal expenses. Todd County was represented by Paul D. Reuvers and Stephanie A. Angolkar.
