County says state housing coordinator offered infrastructure options for workforce housing
Summary
At a recent CIB retreat, Steve Waldrop, the state's housing coordinator, discussed state programs to help fund infrastructure for workforce housing projects; commissioners called the visit encouraging and said follow-up is planned.
Commissioners summarized conversations from a Community Impact Board (CIB) retreat where Steve Waldrop, identified as the state's housing coordinator, spent two days with county officials and discussed state programs that can support infrastructure for housing developments. "He brought up some some programs, that the state's offering, to help with infrastructure, primarily," the Chair said, adding that staff found the sessions encouraging.
Commissioners said they will continue outreach to coordinate site visits and meetings with towns to explore options and funding mixes (grants, loans) to support potential increased development in Dutch John, Manila and other unincorporated areas. No funding commitments or formal project approvals were made at the meeting; staff flagged further follow-up and coordination with the coordinator and towns.
