Walnut Lane Apartments

In 2018, the City purchased the trailer park located at 250 & 280 W Walnut Lane and intends to develop it into an 80-unit multifamily housing development. The City intends for the project to be an affordable, sustainable community for residents across a range of incomes. For more information about the project here.

Assured Housing Report

In 2017, Grand County and the City of Moab contracted with BAE Economics to analyze the feasibility of an assured housing (also known as inclusionary zoning) policy for the Moab Area. These reports informed the Workforce Assured Housing Ordinance (WAHO) adopted by the City in 2018.
