City Hall-built worker housing: 'The best thing going'

(Park Record) A City Hall official anticipates the construction of the Snow Creek Cottages work force housing development will be completed by May 25, slightly behind schedule but in time for people moving in to spend the summer in their new places.

Dave Gustafson, who oversees the local government's construction projects, said the crews are a month behind the anticipated schedule. He said rain last summer and the recent snowstorms caused the delays. Groundbreaking was last May.

"Construction has gone steadily forward. Weather delayed us a little bit," Gustafson said.

The cottages, City Hall's most ambitious brick-and-mortar work force housing development, are under construction outside the Park Avenue police station.
