## Resource

A crane company is suing for half a million dollars after being left unpaid for services on a stalled development project, claiming the original developer kept extending contracts to keep the crane on site even after construction halted. Now, with the property sold twice and new ownership moving forward with the original 96-unit apartment plan, the crane company has filed a mechanic’s lien for nearly $540,000 — and a court date is set to resolve the dispute.
