Colorado Supreme Court Hears Oral Arguments in Case That Could Pose Threat to Metropolitan Districts
On September 20, 2017, the Colorado Supreme Court heard oral arguments in UMB Bank v. Landmark Towers Association, 2016SC455.

The purpose of the election was to form a metropolitan district that could issue bonds to finance new development and infrastructure in the area.
