Group hoping to build a Michael Jackson themed complex in Gary receives extension

GARY, Ind. — The city of Gary has given the developer of a proposed Michael Jackson family-themed complex until May 31 to register as a tax-exempt nonprofit in Indiana.

City Attorney Susan Severtson tells The Times of Munster that Gary officials realize that it takes time for an organization to meet the nonprofit requirements and wanted to set up a realistic timeline.

The city signed a real estate deal last year with Jackson Family Heritage Foundation and Jackson's parents to transfer, under certain conditions, more than 300 acres of city land, for free, to the group to develop. Severtson says the foundation must have tax-exempt status before it can receive the land.

Jackson was born in the city but moved away as a child after the Jackson 5 struck it big in 1969.

SO EMBARRASSING!

I wonder what happened to that "corrupt" woman they attached themselves to in order to meet the non-profit requirements.

I have to laugh at the fact that they can't even get the non-profit up and running, but they believe that they have the know-how to create and complete a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR project. LOL!

This project is going nowhere and they know it.

I've been saying this as well from the get go!:smilerolleyes:

This will turn out to be such an embarrasing thing for them and they will have deserved it!
