Judge dismisses lawsuit over failed Northville Downs relocation to Plymouth Township

A judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Plymouth Township regarding failed plans to relocate Northville Downs to the community.

The family-run horse racing operation had accused the township of extortion.

The lawsuit claimed that Plymouth Township wanted Northville Downs to pay an extra $5 million in addition to the millions they’ve already invested in purchasing land.

Things took a turn when the township’s board of trustees voted to end negotiations, which prompted the lawsuit.

In the end, the judge sided with the township.
