The city of North Liberty and a development group face a temporary injunction keeping them from buying land for a new University of Iowa Community Credit Union.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports a Johnson County District Court judge on Wednesday issued the temporary injunction at the request of more than 20 plaintiffs. The group include local residents and property owners. The newspaper reports residents have said the city hasn't been upfront with information about the deal.
The city has been working to bring the credit union's new headquarters to North Liberty. City officials say it would increase economic growth and bring jobs.
The court is to determine the injunction's status at a hearing Jan. 4.
