What the sources support
A May 19, 2026 development agreement records preliminary site-plan approvals and expressly says final site-plan approval had not yet been obtained. Wayne County's votes of September and October 2026 concern tax benefits and say they do not approve development. Later township and Michigan Public Service Commission action could not be read on 3 November 2026.
