Admittedly, I<br \/>\ndon\u2019t pay attention as much as I should to the notices and the legalese<br \/>\ninvolved in public projects, but the recent movement on the Rodeo Apartments in<br \/>\nGranby has raised a few questions.<\/p>\n<p>Has the town actually asked the citizens for their input<br \/>\nabout the type of attainable housing we need and want? Are the Rodeo Apartments<br \/>\na long-term solution to attract skilled teachers, young professionals, nurses<br \/>\nand tradespeople to Granby? With a plan to build 300 apartments, are we choosing<br \/>\nquantity over quality? Phase 1 is for 108 rental units only. The people who<br \/>\nneed attainable housing are the core of our community, but are we setting them<br \/>\nup for success by offering them a rental apartment where they can never build<br \/>\nequity?<\/p>\n<p>As part of the deal, the town has given the land to a for-profit<br \/>\ndeveloper at zero cost and waived school impact fees. Is this the best we can<br \/>\ndo considering the town owns the land? Check out the Wellington neighborhood in<br \/>\neast Breckenridge to see what a deed restricted neighborhood can look like. That\u2019s<br \/>\na neighborhood anyone would be proud to live in, start a family, put down roots.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not waste this one time opportunity to develop the 30<br \/>\nacres that the town owns. I would like the Town of Granby to hit the pause<br \/>\nbutton on this project so it can truly engage our community because I have a<br \/>\nfeeling if you asked around a 300 unit apartment complex is not what citizens<br \/>\nsee as the best solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Chris Michalowski, Granby<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/opinion\/letters\/letter-granby-should-revisit-plan-for-rodeo-apartments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I appreciate the Town of Granby looking into solutions for attainable housing as it is a major issue that impacts everyone.
