Developer pitches 50–100 modular workforce housing units for Milford
Summary
Millstream Partners proposed a privately funded modular workforce housing development of roughly 50–100 rental units (380–490 sq ft) to serve employees of expanding local industries; council discussed zoning, infrastructure needs and a possible ~$200,000 partnership for infrastructure assistance.
Logan Hall of Millstream Partners presented a proposal for a privately funded modular housing development intended to serve Milford’s growing workforce, citing anticipated expansion by Furbo and Milford Mining. The concept described 50–100 rental units roughly 380–490 square feet each; Millstream would purchase land, install infrastructure and build the units.
Council members raised questions about long‑term viability and site flexibility if workforce demand declines, zoning and infrastructure requirements (curb, gutter, sidewalks, sewer and water), and alternatives such as townhomes or family‑oriented housing. During discussion council referenced an estimated partnership need of about $200,000 in infrastructure assistance. Staff agreed to provide Mr. Hall information on Olene Walker Trust properties as alternative development locations.
The presentation did not include binding commitments; council expressed appreciation and directed staff to continue planning and provide follow‑up information for future review.
