Colorado County Replacing Arena Following Lawsuit

Larimer County, Colo., is replacing an arena and livestock pavilions with money from a settlement with contractors over damage from a snowstorm.

Officials say the Ranch-Way Feeds Indoor Arena and the livestock pavilions at The Ranch will be closed November through July while crews replace the buildings that were damaged in 2006.

Money from a settlement with general contractor Neenan and Co., subcontractors and others will cover losses of revenue as well as the cost of replacing the arena and pavilions.

According to the Loveland Reporter-Herald, the settlement will assure that the new buildings are structurally sound.
