I appreciate the Town of Granby looking into solutions for
\nattainable housing as it is a major issue that impacts everyone. Admittedly, I
\ndon\u2019t pay attention as much as I should to the notices and the legalese
\ninvolved in public projects, but the recent movement on the Rodeo Apartments in
\nGranby has raised a few questions.<\/p>\n
Has the town actually asked the citizens for their input
\nabout the type of attainable housing we need and want? Are the Rodeo Apartments
\na long-term solution to attract skilled teachers, young professionals, nurses
\nand tradespeople to Granby? With a plan to build 300 apartments, are we choosing
\nquantity over quality? Phase 1 is for 108 rental units only. The people who
\nneed attainable housing are the core of our community, but are we setting them
\nup for success by offering them a rental apartment where they can never build
\nequity?<\/p>\n
As part of the deal, the town has given the land to a for-profit
\ndeveloper at zero cost and waived school impact fees. Is this the best we can
\ndo considering the town owns the land? Check out the Wellington neighborhood in
\neast Breckenridge to see what a deed restricted neighborhood can look like. That\u2019s
\na neighborhood anyone would be proud to live in, start a family, put down roots.\n<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s not waste this one time opportunity to develop the 30
\nacres that the town owns. I would like the Town of Granby to hit the pause
\nbutton on this project so it can truly engage our community because I have a
\nfeeling if you asked around a 300 unit apartment complex is not what citizens
\nsee as the best solution.<\/p>\n
