City Grants Petoskey Pointe An Extension

The Petoskey City Council, by a vote of 4-1, recently granted an extension of the deadline for "substantial completion" of the Petoskey Pointe Project from early November of 2008 to December 31, 2009. The deadline is contained in an agreement between the City and Lake Street Petoskey Associates, the Farmington Hills developer of the Project. The Petoskey News Review reported that work on the hotel/retail/condominium project stalled last year after National City Bank withdrew its financing. The Developer requested an extension of the substantial completion deadline in December of 2007, indicating that new financing arrangements involving overseas funds were close to being finalized. To provide protection for the City, the resolution approved by the City Council calls for financing to be demonstrated and construction on the project to resume by March 15th.
