CBS News Colorado reports, some Colorado DOT workers could move into new affordable housing the agency is co-developing on the I-70 corridor by September or October. CDOT and the town of Frisco, which are jointly funding development of the 22-unit Granite Park apartment complex, will divide the facility rental rights. The department seeks local housing for its crew members who keep the corridor open during winter storms, and the city hopes the affordable rentals will draw workers who couldn’t otherwise afford to live in pricey Summit County. Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) said the project aligns with his vision for affordable housing statewide, especially in tourist destinations where essential workers often can’t afford to live. CDOT, in particular, is hoping the housing will improve worker retention, as well as response times during winter emergencies.
