Garfield County Working To Finalize Housing Plan

Garfield County

The Garfield County commissioners meet with the planning commission Wednesday to discuss the housing element of the 2030 comprehensive plan.

As of 2017, there was a shortfall of approximately 3,600 housing units in Garfield County, which is projected to increase over the next decade.

Last year, the county hired Western Slope Consulting LLC and RRC Associates to help gather data for drafting a housing plan that would offer a range of housing types and costs to meet affordable housing needs.

The meeting Wednesday is the first of three prior to finalizing the 20-year plan. It will be held at 6 p.m. in the Garfield County board of commissioner's room in Glenwood Springs.
