They’re going to rip down all these houses for a company that we don't know who it is,” Steven Philips, who has lived across from the site for 30 years, told Bridge last spring.

“Politicians, starting at our township and the governor, made a choice that they’re going to do this. We had no say in it. At all.”

One community leader who's been concerned about the upheaval in the township and the lack of full local input said Wednesday she was pleased Sandisk is pulling out of the project.

“That’s wonderful news,” Jennifer Arrand, the Mundy Township supervisor who was elected in November on an anti-megasite platform, told Bridge.

So far, 1,194 acres have been purchased, with another 95 under contract, according to the Flint-Genesee Economic Alliance. The economic development group leading the development also said that demolition has been ongoing since spring.
