Kraemer Design group is suing Micheal Higgins over the unpaid balance for its design work. I wonder if this lawsuit will light a fire under the developer to get this project started or to drop it.

"We are moving ahead on the project, on the financing," Higgins said. "It’s not going as fast as we had hoped, but we still are in that process."A spokesperson for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, known as MSHDA, wouldn't discuss any specifics Monday about the Leland project, saying in a statement only that some developments "require extra effort to get over the finish line."
"MSHDA has been and continues to be committed to engaging with the developer and the city to find the best approach for this project," said spokesperson Katie Bach.
Higgins said he was surprised to see Kraemer Design go to court right away for the money. The firm also filed a lien on the property.
