Yellowstone County District Judge Ed Zinke has granted a preliminary injunction to halt the construction of a 32-bed forensic mental health facility in Laurel, Montana 1. The project, which is situated west of Laurel, was originally scheduled to break ground next week 1. Judge Zinke's order requires the state to conduct a new environmental assessment and open the process for public comment 1.
The legal challenge was filed in June by Laurel CARED, or Community Advocates for Responsible Economic Development, naming the state's Department of Public Health and Human Services and the Board of Investments as defendants 1. The opposition group argued that the state failed to adequately evaluate the local water supply capacity and neglected to apply for annexation into city limits to obtain water and electricity services in accordance with municipal ordinances 1. Liz Foster, an attorney representing Laurel CARED, asserted that there are serious questions about whether the city of Laurel can support the facility 1. The planned facility was designed to alleviate the backlog of inmates in local jails awaiting mental health evaluations 1. In response to the decision, Jennifer Lorenz, president of Laurel CARED, issued a written statement expressing her satisfaction with the ruling 1.
