County Sues for 1,300-Acre Aeropark Site

ROMULUS, MI-Attorneys for about 40 property owners say Wayne County has not given enough good reasons why the taking of land for a 1,300-acre mixed-use development would benefit the public.

By Robert Carr | Updated on July 31, 2001

ROMULUS, MI-Wayne County has launched lawsuits to condemn portions of land for the proposed 1,300-acre Pinnacle Aeropark project in the communities of Huron Township and Romulus. The project is a mixed-use plan that would include office, industrial and retail space, along with entertainment, restaurants and a golf course.

The county already owns most of the land. However, about 40 remaining landowners have yet to turn over about 300 acres for the project. Some are in negotiation with the county. Others, however, were served with condemnation papers for their land. A few aren’t budging yet, according to attorney’s representing the owners.

Jerome Pesick says he represents four of the landowners being sued. Two of them have agreed to take the price offered by the county, while the other two are opposed to the taking, he adds. He declined to name the asking price for the land, or the owners.
