MINNEAPOLIS — Hennepin County officials and owners of the downtown Minneapolis land where a new Minnesota Twins stadium is being built have agreed on a $28.9 million price for the land.
The county took title to the land months ago, making a deposit of $13 million. The remaining amount of the settlement includes interest owed to landowners on the amount above $13 million, said Aron Kahn, spokesman for the landowners.
Terms of the settlement reached on Friday were announced at a news conference Monday morning.
The landowners had been seeking $33 million for the land, which the county contended was worth $19 million.

The settlement was reached with the aid of a special mediation panel, averting a Nov. 13 court hearing on the issue.
