Owner of inactive railroad corridor brought breach-of-contract action against city, alleging city failed to construct multi-use trail on property within five years as required by agreement under which owner conveyed property to city in exchange for city developing it for public recreational purposes and installing utility lines.
The trial court denied city’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. City appealed.
The Court of Appeals held that agreement was not invalid, void, and enforceable because it allegedly violated statute government requirements for multiyear lease, purchase, or lease-purchase contracts between county or municipality.
