The developer chosen for a major revitalization of Jekyll Island wants to join a lawsuit over the project. However, developer Linger Longer wants to join as one of the parties being sued in order to protect its interests. The company joins the Jekyll Island Authority as a co-defendant in the suit. The Authority was sued earlier this month by a developer rejected for the project. The suit wants an injunction to stop Linger Longer with moving along on plans to build over one-thousand hotel rooms, condos, and time shares in a "town center" type development. The Authority maintains it was fair in the selection process.
