I read the town is deciding how to use pandemic money from the Fed. Would they consider using this to build affordable housing for our workforce? It’s getting very expensive for them to live here.

At the April 5, 2022 Council Meeting, Town Council directed staff to use the Town's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds toward road projects as recommended. To date, an affordable housing project has not been part of internal Town discussions on the topic. Historically, the Town has supported affordable housing within the community as a participant in the Douglas County Housing Partnership and not through direct projects.
