City, county move forward with RFP for MAPS senior‑housing master plan

Moab City Council and Grand County Commission (Joint Meeting) · April 18, 2026

Summary

Officials said the Canyons Healthcare Special Service District will issue an RFP for a consultant to create a master plan for an 8‑acre final phase of the MAPS campus, focusing on independent senior housing, a care‑center expansion including memory care (34 units cited), and integration with community services.

Moab City and Grand County officials described plans to hire a consultant to finish the final phase of the Moab Area Partnership for Seniors (MAPS) campus on an 8‑acre parcel adjacent to the regional hospital. City leaders said the master plan will prioritize independent senior housing, expand the existing care center (the presentation referenced adding another 34 units and memory care), and explore commercial uses that integrate services for older adults.

The RFP was approved by the Canyons Healthcare Special Service District and is expected to be released next week; respondents are expected back by late May or June for the board to review. Officials stressed the need for a needs assessment and policy discussions to ensure local residents can access units (citing long waiting lists) and urged broad community participation on the assessment. "The completed campus will serve as a model for small rural communities demonstrating sustainable human‑centered solutions to the challenges of an aging population," a city official said.
