In a June 9 ruling, District Court Judge Jennifer Mabey handed the Town of Hideout another legal loss in the court case regarding the denial of building permits in Golden Eagle on the basis of infrastructure reasons.

• The court ruling leaves the Town no more reasons to wholesale deny building permits in Golden Eagle
• It is estimated the Town spent around $250,000 on this failed legal fight, and missed hundreds of thousands more in building permit fees.
• The Town seems poised to continue its war on Golden Eagle, now denying Certificate of Occupancies, on largely the same infrastructure reasons.
• Higher property taxes are expected, as the Town now runs a $250,000 annual deficit.
