(Community Matters 88) MAEDA Lawyer: Mediation Would be Good, but Supreme Court More Likely in Megasite Case

Marshall Attorney Richard Lindsey returns to Community Matters to discuss his impressions of a June 6, 2024 hearing at the Michigan Court of Appeals.The hearing was a continuation of the ongoing suit targeting zoning at the Marshall Megasite where the Ford BlueOval Battery Park Michigan is being built. While the hearing had been expedited by the appeals court at the urging of the plaintiff, the Committee for Marshall-Not the Megasite, Lindsey feels it will be as much as four weeks before the court issues a decision.Lindsey offers perspective from the defense on the hearing, which provided for oral arguments in front of three appeals court judges: Presiding Judge Thomas Cameron, Judge Noah Hood and Judge Adrienne Young.Episode ResourcesYouTube: Watch the Court of Appeals hearing here (starts at about 1:27)BlueOval Battery Park Michigan websiteFord Careers websiteMarshall, Michigan websiteMarshall Township,  Michigan websiteFord Motor Company press release about BlueOval Battery Park MichiganChoose Marshall-MAEDA websiteCATL websitePA 425 Conditional Land Use Transfer ExplainedCommittee for Marshall – Not the Megasite websiteCommittee for Marshall – Not the Megasite Facebook pageOther battery plant and Community Matters episodesABOUT COMMUNITY MATTERSFormer WBCK Morning Show host Richard Piet (2014-2017) returns to host Community Matters, an interview program focused on community leaders and newsmakers in and around Battle Creek.
