In a Denver Post article, RMCC lead pastor Alan Ahlgrim said this final, conclusive win for the church could have legal implications for at least 160 other churches around the country. The dispute centered on the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.

The county will be required to pay the church”s legal fees; most of the $1.5 million will be covered by the county”s insurance.
