Fort Collins Appealing Overturned Hydraulic Fracturing Ban

On September 23, 2014, the Fort Collins City Council voted to appeal a recent court decision to overturn the city’s voter-supported moratorium on hydraulic fracturing.

The City Council approved a resolution directing the city’s interim attorney to file an appeal on the ruling and to request a stay on the court’s decision pending the outcome of the appeal.
