A Mount Pleasant business owner says after he refused to sell his property, the village forced him to close and has ruled the property is blighted.
Erickson Trucks-N-Parts sits inside the Foxconn construction zone. Jack and Collen Erickson say they have done business at the location next to Interstate 94 for 22 years. Now, they can’t even access the property because barricades have been up.
Jack Erickson says they agreed to sell almost two acres of land to Mount Pleasant for a frontage road, but negotiations fell apart for the rest of the property because the offer was too low. The Ericksons say they will sue the village for allegedly using illegal methods to take their land.
