The developer of a new shopping center slated for Blackman Township has asked for up to a one-year extension to cut through necessary red tape.

A finalized land purchase agreement for the Northpointe Town Center is dependent on several issues that haven’t been resolved, “through no fault” of the developer or Jackson County government.

Developer Ramco-Gershenson in a memo to the Board of Commissioners said it needs up to an additional 365 days to satisfy the conditions and secure necessary third-party consents. The agreement was to be finalized next month.
