We signed a contract for some kitchen remodeling and put around 2000 down. Franchise got sold and new owners are saying they don’t have to honor the contract. Can someone help me?
answered on May 1, 2019
Maybe. Someone has an obligation per the contract, either the buyer or the seller depending upon the specifics of the transaction and your contract.
You should have an attorney review your contract and likely send a demand letter to other contractor.

Assuming the library owns its building they can decide who to admit. You can contact the Colorado Civil Liberties Union but I don't see that they couldn't, especially if you appeared to violate their rules for conduct or use of materials.
