After a federal judge’s ruling, Peninsula Township residents could be on the hook for $49 million in lost revenue to 11 Old Mission Peninsula wineries. And they're not excited about paying for it.

Peninsula Township, a community with just over 6,000 people, is facing a $50 million pay out after losing a federal lawsuit.

U.S. District Court Judge Paul L. Maloney said Peninsula Township's zoning ordinance is unconstitutional and harmed 11 wineries along Old Mission Peninsula.

Warm, dry weather means more time for grapes to ripen and fewer opportunities for disease.

Township board members met Wednesday night to hear public comment and vote on the fate of a settlement agreement for a lawsuit with wineries.
