How to Help
Attend the Hearing
Show up on April 23 and sign up to speak during public comment. Even silent attendance shows commissioners the community cares.
Share on Social Media
Share this website, the class action, and concern articles with friends, family, and neighbors. The more visibility, the stronger our position.
Talk to Your Neighbors
Many residents still don’t know about Project Tango. Have conversations at community events, on trails, and at school pickup.
Contact Elected Officials
Write or call your county commissioner, state representative, and state senator. Personal stories are more powerful than form letters.
Preserve Your Records
Locate and safely store your purchase agreement, marketing materials, HOA disclosures, and any correspondence with builders or sales agents. These documents may be critical evidence for the class action.
