The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a dispute over a controversial waste recycling plant proposed by the Oneida Nation.

The Oneida Seven Generations Corp, a tribal entity, received a conditional use permit to build a waste recycling plant. The city of Green Bay pulled the permit after the project generated significant controversy.

In a decision this March, the Wisconsin District III Court of Appeals said the city acted illegally. The city, however, is telling the Wisconsin Supreme Court that it had a valid reason to revoke the permit due to alleged misrepresentations by OSGC.

Oral arguments haven't been scheduled.
