"Save the Elena Gallegos" has great news to share regarding our lawsuit!
After our game-changing victory on May 16, the City of Albuquerque saw the writing on the wall and asked us to settle. We're now in the process of negotiating with them for a permanent injunction that will uphold the deed to the Elena Gallegos Open Space and protect the land from buildings and development forever.
Our lawyer has already written the injunction (which reinforces verbatim the land-use restrictions in the deed (top of page 3)), and the City has already agreed to it. We're now waiting for the judge's review and signature, and then the injunction will be official. And we'll have achieved exactly what we set out to do when we launched this petition last October.
We wanted to give you a heads-up that a complete, final, and amazing victory is weeks -- if not days! -- away. We could not have reached this stage without the support of this community. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Please watch this space for updates regarding the injunction -- and a public celebration!
