Will Oakland Township still go to Federal Court over Blossom Ridge Development?

The long legal issue regarding the Blossom Ridge development in Oakland Township may be coming to an end. This issue is the Federal case against Oakland Township regarding the Blossom Ridge Senior Development proposed at the corner of Adams.

A court ordered ‘facilitation’ took place in the hopes that an agreement could be achieved eliminating the need for a trial. A proposal that involved just the Blossom Ridge parcel was not achieved, so the developer offered an option that included more than the original Blossom Ridge property. Judge Howard, the negotiation facilitator, supported the proposal and asked that the proposal be reviewed by the entire Board and made available to the public.

A final decision by the Board IS REQUIRED by January 26, 2016, or the issue will go to trial in July. Specific information on the proposal will be made available to the public by end of business on Thursday at the Township Hall. A summary of the proposal can be read by visiting the following site:
