Project could bring jobs to N.J. city, but legal battle and $350M lawsuit threat stand in the way NJ.com 1/26/2021
It sounded so promising in the beginning.
A developer wanted to acquire a vacant, run-down industrial property in Millville and transform it into a thriving business hub.
In the last few years, those plans have fallen apart and descended into a battle of dueling legal filings.
The city is suing to sever its agreement with the developer and the developer is threatening to sue the city for $350 million over defamation claims.
The developer claims the city isn’t operating in good faith, while the city says it has given the developer many opportunities to come up with a plan for the site and that it’s time to move on.
