Columbus, OH – According to Patch.com, recently closed Northville Downs has filed a lawsuit against Plymouth Township in Michigan.

Patch writer Dylan Siwici reports, “Northville Downs is suing Plymouth Township after city officials ended talks with the harness racing group about building a new horse track in the township.

“The harness racing group is asking for $10 million after plans to build the new track fell through because township officials wanted the group to build new amenities in the township worth millions in exchange for the new track, something the group argues ‘amounted to extortion,’ according to the lawsuit.

“In addition, the harness racing group wants a judge to force township officials to continue moving forward with the track’s development plans, according to the lawsuit.”
