Workforce Housing Coming to Delta!
One Delta County: An Economic Alliance’s Annual Meeting was held on November 9, 2023.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
On November 9, 2023, One Delta County: An Economic Alliance held its Annual Meeting at The Grove, discussing various projects they are working on. Among these, the potential Workforce Housing Project took center stage. Greg Pope, the Director of One Delta County, presented details about this initiative, which involves collaboration with the City of Delta and Uncompahgre Development.
The City of Delta offered a donation of a six-and-a-half-acre parcel on 7th Street, while Uncompahgre Development purchased an adjoining lot to facilitate access to the project. One Delta County has commissioned an architect to conduct a feasibility study, cost analysis, and create schematic drawings for the proposed Workforce Housing Project.
Pope emphasized the belief that such a development would benefit the entire county and could serve as a blueprint for future projects in Delta County's municipalities.
The Annual Meeting's Dinner, held at The Grove in Delta, provided a sophisticated setting where attendees enjoyed a farm-to-table dining experience. The meal was generously sponsored by Hellman Motor Company, Alpine Bank, DMEA/Elevate Fiber, and the Delta County Independent.
Guest speakers included Marco Pezzica, Sales Manager at Colorado Stone Quarries, who showcased visuals of operations at the Marble quarry and manufacturing facility in Delta. Dr. Nathan Perry from Colorado Mesa University, discussed the status and challenges within the Delta County Housing Market.
Pope highlighted the importance of community support for One Delta County's efforts in achieving economic diversity and resilience. He stressed that successful economic development requires collaboration from local government and the entire community.
