North Nevada default hurts only bond investors
“While a default on $55 million in revenue bonds to pay for infrastructure at University Village Colorado doesn’t seem to come with many consequences, there likely will be some cleanup required.
When the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority announced last December that it wouldn’t be able to make the minimum payment on one of two bonds, business carried on as usual at the city, the authority and the shopping center on North Nevada Avenue.
Nothing changed after an independent investigation, commissioned by Mayor Steve Bach, revealed earlier this fall that the authority has exhausted its reserve funds for the bonds and likely will default on the other bond as well.”
