Springdale officials told the council Sept. 10 that Switchpoint Community Resource Center has expressed interest in developing the Trapper Circle parcel (S‑100‑C) for workforce housing, and the council responded by asking staff to arrange a vetting meeting with Switchpoint as soon as schedules allow. Background: The town previously selected Mountain Country Home Solutions in a request‑for‑proposals process to help develop the Red Hawk and Trapper Circle properties; staff and the council said those Red Hawk efforts have occupied the developer’s attention and delayed work on Trapper Circle. Town staff and the mayor then approached other potential partners and met with Switchpoint, a nonprofit that has developed housing elsewhere and operates homelessness and housing programs in the region. Staff summary and timeline: Planning director Tom Dancy told the council that Switchpoint representatives said they are prepared to pursue available funding for affordable and workforce housing. One funding round discussed has an Oct. 1 application deadline; Switchpoint staff told town staff they could move as quickly as necessary but would not pressure the town to proceed before it was ready. Dancy said Switchpoint "is going to be a partner with us and wants to be a partner with us regardless," adding that the group will move as fast as the town allows. Council direction: Councilmembers asked for more information, including details about Switchpoint’s experience with workforce housing (the nonprofit has a public profile for homeless services and housing projects in other cities), funding sources and selection criteria for tenants. The council asked staff to invite Switchpoint to present to the council at a special meeting if that is feasible before Oct. 1; if not, Switchpoint will appear at a regular meeting and the council will use that session to decide whether to allow the nonprofit to pursue grant funding and continue negotiations about site control. Conditions and next steps: Staff noted that any transfer or long‑term control of town‑owned property must follow the town’s property‑disposal procedures; a site control letter or agreement would be nonbinding until the council approved any required property transfer steps. The council emphasized it wants clarity about the intended tenant population — the council’s stated preference is housing for the town’s workforce rather than a broader low‑income or shelter population — and said it would expect a detailed placement, management and funding plan before approving any property transaction. Quote: "SwitchPoint is going to be a partner with us and wants to be a partner with us regardless," Tom Dancy said, describing the nonprofit’s approach and willingness to work with the town’s timetable. Ending: The council authorized staff to arrange a presentation and vetting session with Switchpoint; no property transfer or commitment was made at the Sept. 10 meeting.
