An Adams County district judge on Tuesday invalidated an election used to boost tax rates within the land set aside for the Gaylord Rockies Hotel, a decision that Aurora quickly filed to appeal.

Aurora filed a notice of appeal within hours of the ruling and said the project to create the state’s largest hotel remains on track.
