After several years of work, Flagstaff may be one step closer to the development of a 100% affordable housing development and parking garage downtown. The project comes as a collaboration between the Foundation, Catholic Charities and the City of Flagstaff, Hastings told the council. The city is currently renting several public parking spaces on the old school property, largely to support the parking needs of the courthouse. In other words, the cost of construction for those 97 parking spaces will be what the city ultimately pays. Council approved that measure as one way to encourage the construction of affordable housing in a state that does not allow cities to require the inclusion of affordable units within projects.
