Adams County pauses Golden Meadows disposal to study housing reuse

Jul 22, 2026

Project Connect asked the county to pause plans to dispose of Golden Meadows and offered to perform a predevelopment study (not-to-exceed $35,000) to test whether the building can support transitional housing and services; commissioners agreed to a 60–90 day pause to allow further work.

The full story

Project Connect presented to the board a case for pausing the planned disposal of Golden Meadows and exploring whether the county-owned building could be repurposed to provide transitional housing and supportive services for residents returning from jail, people in recovery, and others experiencing housing instability. The presenters described expanded navigation services and cited program growth metrics (navigation up about 26% year-over-year; freedom circles up 332%) and asked the commissioners for time to do targeted due diligence and community engagement.
