SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Council Priorities for 2022.
The EDC needs to align their priorities with Council’s and work on housing. In the Comprehensive Plan we have goals to increase housing which include:
o Develop Housing directed incentive program
o Identify & adopt strategic housing investment areas
We had a work session on August 26, 2021 with council on housing. I am attaching the slide presentation from that work session.
The August 26th Work Session featured a presentation on issues related to developing housing in Valdez.
Topics for discussion include:
-Proposed housing incentive plan for creation of new dwelling units.
-St. Patrick Subdivision.
-Valdez Senior Housing Project.
-Chugach Corporation proposed multi-use facility.
-Comprehensive Plan goals for future development.
The Work Session is discussion involving current projects and ideas for immediate actions. More long term planning will occur as a result of the Comprehensive Plan.
