Lauren H. is one of the newest homeowners moving into the Cottonwoods (with her sidekick, Penelope) who plays quite an active role in the Steamboat Springs community. She currently serves as the Development Director for Better Tomorrow , a nonprofit whose mission is to serve vulnerable + marginalized individuals in the Yampa Valley and empower them to live thriving lives. “I came here in 2019 with the intention for it to be a brief stint – but the Yampa Valley Curse got me,” says Lauren. “I love that it’s a close-knit community. You can really go anywhere and make friends.”

As a first-time homebuyer, Lauren was no stranger to the stress of unaffordability that has come to accompany life in the Valley. “My best friend is leaving Steamboat for better-paying work in Denver. I see this a lot amongst people in my age group – they can’t find jobs that pay enough to live here,” she says. Having lived at Alpenglow prior (a YVHA partnership property focused on affordability for the local workforce) allowed Lauren to save up for an eventual down payment on her new Cottonwoods condo.

Lauren touts the local vibe as her favorite thing about Cottonwoods living so far. “It feels like a real community,” she says. “I’ve met a bunch of neighbors, and we all have some commonalities and shared aspects to our life stories. It does feel good to have a little slice of Steamboat that is finally ours.”

This week, City of Steamboat Springs - Government staff presented a municipal service analysis that outlines the city's current capacity to absorb potential new development in the Slate Creek Neighborhood without major infrastructure upgrades. It is important to note that this analysis will help to inform the decision-making process moving forward - and is not a "be-all and end-all".

From the full analysis: "this document is not intended to establish a fixed buildout limit or serve as a long‑term growth forecast. Rather, it provides Council with a current snapshot of municipal service capacity and identifies the points at which additional investment, staffing, or infrastructure upgrades may be needed to maintain existing service levels."

These slides/images are excerpted from the presentation. We recommend that those interested should view the full memorandum, linked here:

The next Slate Creek Steering Committee meetings will take place on June 17th (1PM-4PM) and June 18th (9AM-12PM) - agendas and virtual links will be provided as those dates approach.
