Affordable Housing in Chaffee County: A Status Update from Local Leaders

Panel members will include Ashley Kappel, Executive Director, Chaffee Housing Authority; Joel Benson, Buena Vista Town Planning and Zoning Director; and Bill Almquist, Salida Community Development Director. LWVCC members and the public will ask the panel questions pertaining to the status of new developments and future plans for the county and its towns; solutions to the ongoing affordable housing shortages in the county; and how these planners balance housing needs with other priorities such as water supply.
