Earl Giefer, 94, has owned a farm in Oak Creek since 1931, and he just wanted to keep all 26 acres of his land.

City officials in Oak Creek want to buy the land for more than $1 million for development, using eminent domain law.

They are also willing to let him stay on the land.

"We were willing to pay $1.2 million and leave him live there until he passed away," said Oak Creek Mayor Dick Bolender
