The question Golden Valley residents and Rhodes Homes investors are asking is, "Now what?"
Bill Marion of Purdue Marion and Associates confirmed that Rhodes Homes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Las Vegas court Tuesday afternoon.
The bankruptcy filing contains at least 1,300 acres of land and four model homes from the Pravada master planned community in Golden Valley. "Rhodes Homes fully intends to develop the Pravada master planned community," Marion said. When asked what that meant to investors and local residents, Marion repeated the statement.
"The company expects to deliver all homes currently on order as well as take new orders and continue construction of new homes in these communities," the company said in a news release Wednesday.
