Court Stops School Board Move To Condemn Rockwool Property, For Now
A federal court judge granted Rockwool’s motion for a preliminary injunction, halting the Jefferson County Board of Education’s efforts to obtain the Rockwool site by eminent domain. The judge’s order means that the BOE may not pursue condemnation of the property in state court. The injunction will be in effect while proceedings continue in U.S. District Court. Judge Gina Groh found that Rockwool was likely to succeed on the merits of its case, and furthermore, that evidence indicates that a jury would likely find in its favor.
