DEVELOPER SUES CITY OVER LAKE PROJECT

The developer of the Northern Lights over Roosevelt Lake project has filed suit in Crow Wing County District Court against the City of Emily. The suit asks the court to set aside the city council's decision last month to require an Environmental Impact Study for the project. Attorneys for City Lakes Investment Group of Minneapolis allege the council decision was based on speculative factors and claims the city "did not engage in reasoned decision-making." The suit asks for a response from the City of Emily in 20 days.
