Moto Verde and the Village of Fairfax

Defending Property Rights

In July 2009, the 1851 Center advised the Village of Fairfax, an enclave in the city of Cincinnati, that it had violated the constitutional rights of Moto Verde, a motor scooter shop, by classifying it as an automobile dealership, refusing it the right to operate, and denying it a hearing.  Fairfax submitted, and today Moto Verde is open for business.
