Developer pitches 50–100 modular workforce units to Milford council
Summary
Millstream Partners proposed a privately funded modular workforce housing project of 50–100 rental units (about 380–490 sq ft each) and asked the city to consider up to $200,000 in infrastructure assistance; council thanked the presenter and asked staff to explore Olene Walker Trust property options.
Logan Hall of Millstream Partners presented a privately funded workforce housing concept to the Milford City Council on June 16, proposing a modular development of "50–100 rental units, approximately 380–490 square feet in size," intended to serve anticipated industrial growth.
The proposal would have Millstream Partners purchase the land, install infrastructure and construct the units; Mr. Hall described the plan as intended for workforce housing to support expansion by local employers. Council members raised questions about long-term viability and what would happen if workforce demand declined, and they discussed alternative layouts including townhomes and family-oriented housing.
Council and staff also flagged zoning and infrastructure needs—curb, gutter, sidewalks, sewer and water—and discussed an "estimated partnership" figure of about $200,000 in infrastructure assistance. The council requested additional information and agreed staff should provide Mr. Hall with details about Olene Walker Trust properties as potential alternate sites.
The presentation concluded with council appreciation for the concept and no commitments to funding or approval; council members asked staff to continue follow-up and bring further planning items back to a future meeting.
