What happened
The published court opinion recounts a development agreement, a recalled township board and later rescinded supporting resolutions G1. After Michigan reported a funding-related default, Gotion acknowledged the plant was no longer viable; the court dismissed the injunction appeal as moot and remanded G1.
Decision on recordThe Sixth Circuit dismissed Green Charter Township's appeal of a preliminary injunction because Gotion said the proposed battery plant was no longer viable; the dismissal was jurisdictional, not a merits ruling on all underlying claims. G1:p8-9
Who acted in the record
How RealClear would approach this site
Historical reconstruction: RealClear was not involved in the recorded proceeding; this is how a one-property review could have organized its public record, not a predicted vote.
What survives when local support changes?
- Record to read
- Development agreement, board resolutions, funding terms and appellate opinion
- Constraint to test
- The court treated project nonviability as mooting the injunction appeal, leaving other issues separate.
- Next action
- Map contractual, public-funding and entitlement dependencies before describing litigation as a win or loss.
The boundary of the finding
- Do not imply the appellate court decided the merits of all claims or that a court revoked a land-use permit.
