State Supreme Court Clears Way for Toyota

Reported today in Crain's Detroit Business -

"The Michigan Supreme Court has cleared the way for the state to sell 690 acres in York Township to Toyota Technical Center USA Inc. for $11 million. The company plans to build a $195 million, 400,000-square-foot technical center on the site in Washtenaw County.
The high court Tuesday killed a lawsuit by West Bloomfield Township-based DPG York L.L.C., which had offered $25.2 million for the land. The developer claimed that the state had unfairly passed over its bid when the State Administrative Board last April approved an agreement for Toyota to buy the land for the lower price. " Full story

While the State of Michigan has its economic problems, here in Washtenaw County we are in better shape than in many parts of our State. Having Toyota's Technical Center come in will bring an estimated 300+ new jobs to this area plus boost other development in and around York Township.
