City of Ketchum recently issued the following announcement.
Housing Action Plan Focus Group
Date:
Friday, April 22, 2022
Time:
12:00pm to 1:00pm
The City of Ketchum is finalizing the Housing Action Plan in collaboration with a Housing Task Force comprised of a cross-section of community members. Actions being analyzed include rental assistance, incentives for converting to long-term rentals, preserving existing affordable housing, homeownership assistance, new housing development, and zoning changes. To ensure adequate funding for these actions, the City Council agreed to place the Local Option Tax (LOT) on the May ballot for funding to help implement the plan.
We have completed the first stage of setting context by determining needs, preferences, and best practices. We are currently in stage two developing the plan, based on which mechanisms identified in the previous stage best meet needs and preferences. If the plan is approved, we will begin implementation; the extent of which depends on funding availability.
