Large Greeley development halted by voters; Lawsuit calls election unconstitutional
GREELEY, Colo. — Voters in Greeley have repealed zoning for a major entertainment and housing development on the city’s western edge, halting plans for a new ice hockey arena for the Colorado Eagles, a water park, hotel and housing project near Highway 34 and prompting a lawsuit from private developers.
In Tuesday's special election, residents approved a ballot measure to overturn zoning for the Cascadia project.
City leaders said about 21,000 people voted; they said this was a higher voter turnout than most other special elections. They typically expect between 5% and 30% turnout for special elections. They saw at least 1/3 of the voting population show up.
The vote stops construction activity that had already begun along Highway 34, where drivers may have noticed early signs of work on the high-profile Cascadia development.
