Cascadia

After a successful protest of an earlier petition effort related to the $1.1 billion Cascadia development in west Greeley, four Greeley residents Friday filed another protest, this one against a petition that on Wednesday was ruled “initially insufficient” by the city clerk.

Less than two hours after backers of the planned Cascadia and Catalyst project in west Greeley celebrated a groundbreaking for infrastructure for the project, opponents announced another petition drive to halt the development.

Four Greeley residents on Friday challenged the legality of a citizen-initiated petition that could derail the city’s financing plan for a $1.1 billion entertainment district on the city’s western edge.

A group hoping that voters will repeal the Greeley City Council’s approval of the complex financing plan for a $1.1 billion sports and entertainment project on the city’s western edge has won approval of its petition form from the city clerk’s office and began collecting signatures of registered voters over the weekend.
