  2. Disagreement • Novi officials figure the primary building of the troubled Main Street Novi project -- with restaurants, offices and other shops -- is worth about $19 million. • Jim Chen doesn't think so. The developer is asking state tax officials to whack nearly in half the value of the 160,000-square-foot building and the land it's on. • City assessor Glenn Lemmon said Tuesday that such a protest isn't unusual. He said businesses account for roughly 75 percent of the appeals of the city's assessments, used to calculate taxes.
