Earlier this week, Plymouth-Canton Patch asked which types of businesses would be a good fit for Cherry Hill Village, a decade-old, downtown-like business and residential development in a historic patch of Canton.

The Canton Township Board of Trustees approved a contract at its meeting Tuesday night with planning firm OHM Advisors to do a market study in Canton for $54,500.

Developer accuses township of using property it doesn't own to build road, parking area.
Cherry Ridge LLC, a developer, has filed a lawsuit accusing Canton Township of using property it doesn't own in Cherry Hill Village to build a road and parking area for patrons of the Village Theater and other nearby amenities, according to the Canton Observer.

According to the report, the barricades forced theater patrons to find alternate parking as far north as Preservation Park, and also restricted parking access to the Human Services Center. The …
