ORTHVILLE
Northville Township police
are continuing to investigate two
home invasions that took place
recently.
Police received a 911 call at
about 11 a.m. Sept. 13 froma resi-
dent reporting that a home inva-
sion was under way in his home.
He said that two subjects were
attempting to break into the resi-
dence and the caller hid in a
closet when he observed one of
the suspects armed with a hand-
gun.
When Northville officers
arrived at the residence, the two
suspects had fled and nothing
was taken from the home. While
investigating the incident, police
received a second 911 call report-
ing a home invasionwithhad just
occurred in the same area of
Beck Road, south of Eight Mile
Road.
In this instance, according to
police reports, entry had been
forced into the residence and
electronics and jewelry were
reported stolen. Police surmise
that the two incidents are relat-
ed.
The subjects were observed
by a witness in a vehicle
described as a newer, light-col-
ored, four-door sedan. One sub-
ject was described as a light com-
plexioned black male approxi-
mately 5-feet, 10-inches tall with
amediumbuild. The second sub-
ject was described as a black
male with a medium build and
braided hair, according to police
reports.
Police have requested that
anyone with information regard-
ing this incident contact the
Northville Township Detective
Bureau (248) 349-9400. To remain
anonymous contact Crime
Stoppers 1-800-SPEAKUP.
Some of the unsung heroes
from the history of Northville
will tell their own stories near
their gravesites during the annu-
al Oakwood Cemetery Walk
planned from 3-6 p.m. Sunday,
Oct. 9.
Visitors will hear from the cos-
tumed characters about moving
the state Capitol, Underground
railroad connections, the war
where no one got killed (except
the mule), an honest builder, a
real '49er, and many others from
the past of the area.

dent noted that there are 400 cars daily in
the nearby technical center which causes
serious traffic congestion and this plan
would add to that problem.
“This is not a strip center. There will be
a community area for community events
with sidewalks all along Beck and Five
Mile. TheMeijer will be 50,000 square feet
smaller than the one on Eight Mile,”
Neumann continued.
Nix told the crowd that the develop-
ment would leveragemore than $4million
in improvements from Wayne County and
that while there is a traffic problem on
Beck Road, the county currently has no
obligation to fix it.
“This development is crucial to the
MITC” (Michigan International
Technology Center). He said that the loca-
tion was clearly a “commercial corner”
and that the township could not “flip” the
land. He added that there is some contam-
ination at the land and with this proposal,
the developer would pay for part of the
remediation and a brownfield plan would
pay a portion. “It could be anywhere from
$500 to $5million,” he said.
After the meeting, Township Manager
Chip Snider saidRedico's final cost for the
land was still under negotiation as PUD
details are not finalized and dependent on
the final site plan.
“We hope to have about $5 million in
seed money left when we're all done and
be able to demolish the old psychiatric
hospital. However, under our agreement,
the state will take 40 percent,” he said,
referring to an agreement with the state
that stipulates when title passed to the
township they could not exercise claims
on the land if it were not developed for a
public purpose. That has since changed
and a 60/40 percent arrangement is in
place.
Snider attributed the unusually large
assembly of residents at the meeting to a
“well funded Canton attorney” who repre-
sents a Plymouth Township business
affected by the Redico development,
including the nearby Shell Gas Station on
the south side of FiveMileRoad.
