NEWARK — The owner of the former Longaberger basket building said last week he no longer wants to sell the iconic Newark structure because of the Intel Corporation project coming to Licking County.

Bryan Stanley, a Florida developer, filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, seeking a jury trial, compensatory damages exceeding $75,000 and compliance with all promises made in the contract.

The broken promises, according to the lawsuit, were to remove mold from inside the building, power wash the exterior and remove dead vegetation and debris from the parking lot, according to the lawsuit.
