Judge grants preliminary injuntion on moratorium
Today Judge Shindurling issued his opinion in favor of the request for a preliminary injunction on Teton County’s moratorium on development. From our initial reading of the opinion it seems that the judge uses a very restrictive understanding of what constitutes “health, safety and welfare” and therefore concludes that since the county’s findings of fact supporting the emergency moratorium would likely be successfully challenged, the plaintiff is entitled to preliminary injunctive relief.
