The former owner of Marshalltown’s vacant UnityPoint Hospital is appealing a court decision that transferred ownership of the property to the city. A judge transferred ownership of the hospital to the city in early June. The former owner is now asking a higher court to review that decision.
Background
The hospital has been vacant since 2022. City leaders recently hired an engineering firm to evaluate the building and begin planning its future, but that work could be delayed while the appeal moves through the courts.
