Legal showdown over failed Artex Fiber site development in Warren
Jury verdict finds Tran and ITFederal liable for unjust enrichment conversion and ultra vires in a complex case against the EDA over a 380 acre former Artex Fibers site. The EDA seeks more than 11.9 million in compensatory damages plus 2 million for breach and fraud and 8.4 million for loan default. The project promised 600 jobs funded by EB-5 and a 30 year loan, but construction targets were missed and a long dispute over funds and authority actions followed.
