ATTORNEY: SETTLEMENT COMING ON ONE OF TWO LAWSUITS FIGHTING SK HYNIX’S $4B SITE

Two of the three West Lafayette residents suing to overturn a 2025 rezoning that cleared the way for SK hynix’s $4 billion high-bandwidth memory facility in the city look to be heading toward a settlement in their case against the South Korean company, the city of West Lafayette and Purdue Research Foundation.

Arie Lipinski, an attorney representing West Lafayette residents Karl Janich and Sean Sasser, said in court Tuesday that his clients had reached an agreement to settle their claims in a lawsuit filed in June 2025.

“The parties are working toward finalizing the agreement, and we should have the documents to the court fairly soon,” Lipinski said during a pretrial hearing Tuesday evening.
