Link to Executive Summary
This project explores the future of an existing mobile home park by providing development options for the owner in collaboration with Town of Lyons. Affordable housing is disappearing across Boulder County and the Town of Lyons is particularly challenged due to lack of developable area and loss of housing after a 2013 flood disaster. This project explores opportunities to increase housing capacity at an existing mobile home park while limiting displacement of the current community as well as expanding on economic development opportunities for the Town.
