FRISCO \u2014 Developers of various workforce housing projects are attempting to address the constant struggle of Summit County workers to find affordable housing.<\/p>\n

Local projects like the Wellington Neighborhood<\/a>, Peak One<\/a>, Blue 52<\/a> and Smith Ranch<\/a> have provided the county with deed-restricted housing, but not everyone is ready to buy a house. For those workers, new projects are focused on affordable housing that residents can rent instead of buy. <\/p>\n

The Village at Wintergreen<\/a> in Keystone is open to seasonal Vail Resorts employees and will continue to open more units to Summit County employees through the spring. The project, one of several recent efforts to mitigate the housing crisis in Summit County, will provide nearly 200 affordable housing units in Keystone. <\/p>\n

The multibuilding development at 280 Antlers Gulch Road features community amenities like internet, laundry facilities, a playground and dog park, a community garden and bus services. <\/p>\n

The project and associated affordable rental prices were developed through a collaboration<\/a> between the Summit Board of County Commissioners, Vail Resorts and developer Gorman & Co. Representatives of the three groups gathered in December to discuss the development. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith the housing crisis that we know has been happening and occurring for a number of years in Summit County, we\u2019re delighted to be delivering a spectrum of workforce housing that meets people at different income ranges that are working here locally in Keystone and in Summit County,\u201d Gorman & Co. Colorado President Kimball Crangle said.<\/p>\n

The available workforce housing units are broken up into three categories: units that are rented based on low-income housing tax credits, units that are rent-capped based on area median income and units that are rented to Vail Resorts seasonal employees. Thirty-six units are master leased by Vail Resorts for seasonal employee housing. Another 40 one-, two- and three-bedroom units are income restricted by tax credits. The rents are broken down as follows:<\/p>\n
