Workforce housing survey

The Town of Estes Park has partnered with the Estes Park Housing Authority to develop affordable workforce housing at the Town-owned Fish Hatchery property.

The Town and EPHA want to hear from people who live, work and are raising their families in in the Estes Valley as this property is being planned.

The survey is available in both English and Spanish.
