Exhibit A
Project Proposal
Town of Estes Park Proposal- ARPA Funding:
Phase One of the Fish Hatchery Workforce Housing Project
Project Summary
Utilize Town-owned property (approximately 22 acres) to construct a workforce housing development of
up to 190 rental units in partnership with the Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA).
Current Status
After pursuing a development partnership following a 2021 RFP process, the Town of Estes Park, in
cooperation with the Estes Park Housing Authority, chose to not move forward with the selected partner
to develop the Fish Hatchery site, given changing conditions in both the financial markets, dramatic
increases in constructions costs and interest rates, and market demand. The Town of Estes Park now
anticipates entering into an agreement with EPHA to facilitate the development of a workforce housing
project. Both the Town of Estes Park and the Estes Park Housing Authority seek to leverage work efforts
from 2021-2023 to jumpstart the new direction. EPHA anticipates pursuing Low-Income Housing Tax
Credits (LIHTC) to develop a portion of the site in coordination with our development partners.
Ultimately, we plan to construct up to 190 rental units, most of which would be restricted to the local
workforce and have rents between 30-150% of the area median income. While it is difficult to determine
at this time because of changing economic circumstances, we expect the total project cost would be
approximately $65-70 million dollars.
Phase One of this project includes robust community outreach, required predevelopment work, and
substantial reports including:
• Traffic Study
• Environmental
• Market Needs Assessment
• Wildlife Assessment
• Geotechnical Subsoils
• Cultural Resource Inventory (if needed)
What local/regional problem or opportunity would ARPA funds help address?
ARPA funds would help address the Estes Valley’s workforce and attainable housing crisis. The 2023
Housing Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan have outlined the following:
• The Estes Valley needs 1,220 additional or preserved dwellings to meet the existing demand and
an additional 1,500 dwellings by 2030 with demand being driven by anticipated retiring
workforce and job growth.
• The Housing Strategic Plan identifies a 5-year target of developing between 300 and 400
dwellings.
Town of Estes Park Contributions
In addition to utilizing the Town-owned property valued at approximately $2.5 million (2021), the Town
is willing to leverage the use of 6E Lodging Tax revenues to help finance the project. Additionally, we
anticipate waiving eligible development review fees and allowing tap fees to be amortized over a 10-year
period (estimated around $4 million).
Preliminary estimates for funding Phase One equal $2,025,000.
ARPA Funding Request
$2 million to fund Phase One of the workforce housing project to include robust community outreach,
predevelopment work, and substantial predevelopment reporting.
Any additional funding, including the $25,000 budgeted and anything beyond that in Phase One, will
most likely be funded through 6E Tax dollars and/or grants. 6E funds are voted upon annually by both
the Town of Estes Park Board of Trustees and the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners. In
2024, the Funding Plan outlines the approval to use 6E revenue for the predevelopment of Town and
EPHA-owned property.
Timeframe
EPHA anticipates pursuing Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to develop a portion of the site in
coordination with development partners. This funding process will dictate the timing and ability to begin
construction of this project as soon as feasible.
Phase One is expected to take two years and we hope to begin construction in 2025.
