Developer briefs council on 20‑acre Harmony Hills workforce housing; asks for direction on state grant application
A developer presented a 20‑acre infill workforce and market‑rate housing proposal near Ravencrest and Blue Ridge Coffee, estimating a $14.7 million project with a 25% match. The city was asked to support a Business Council (BRC) grant application that would require a roughly $184,000 local contribution; council gave preliminary direction to pursue the application and asked staff to explore zoning changes for tiny homes and accessory dwelling units.
The full story
City planning staff introduced a developer team proposing a 20‑acre infill housing development (often referred to in the presentation as the Harmony Hills area) that would mix tiny homes, twin homes, four‑plexes and single‑family lots. Director Becker told council the city faces an affordable housing shortage and that the Wyoming Business Council’s Building Resilient Communities (BRC) program now allows infrastructure funding requests for housing. The presenter described the preliminary project budget as roughly $14,700,000 with a 25% match (about $3,700,000); the developer would cover most of the match while the city was being asked to consider a $184,000 contribution to meet the match requirement.
