The January opening of Magna Seating's new plant in Spring Hill is at risk because the company has not received a conditional certificate of occupancy from the city. This is due to miscommunication regarding the completion timeline for required road improvements. Magna needs the certificate by January in order to meet its first shipment deadline from GM. However, the codes director says he cannot issue the certificate until the roadwork is fully finished. Magna's project manager stated they believed only the road design, not completion, was required for approval. They are working with an engineering firm to start the improvements but the solution is unclear if the deadline cannot be met.
