Curb North sues Rio Rancho over impact fee moratorium
Curb North Inc filed a 5.6 million dollar lawsuit against the City of Rio Rancho over a moratorium on impact fees. The suit was served Oct. 12 after attorney Richard Leverick warned the city in September that suing would occur if fees were cut by more than 50 percent. The case centers on credits for excess infrastructure and a split vote suspending half of the impact fees.
