Aspen One's Commitment to Community Support
Aspen One is dedicated to enhancing housing and childcare options in mountain communities. Recent initiatives have led to the addition of over 250 new employee beds across various locations, reflecting a deep commitment to community well-being. This effort also includes hundreds of millions of dollars pledged towards future housing and childcare projects, ensuring a sustainable approach to addressing these critical needs.
Innovative Housing Initiatives
In light of the ongoing housing crisis, Aspen One has proactively sought solutions to not only build new housing but to create supportive environments for employees and their families. Major milestones highlight this commitment:
The SHOP Housing Project
This forthcoming 30-unit development in Snowmass Village is designed to offer year-round housing for hospitality personnel. Currently under review by the Snowmass Town Council, it anticipates construction to commence by the fall of 2025 or early spring of 2026.
Significant Land Acquisition
Aspen One has secured a contract for a 20-acre property, set to become its largest housing neighborhood ever, with more than 100 residential units aimed solely at providing housing for year-round employees. This project exemplifies Aspen One's commitment to addressing the workforce housing shortage.
Partnerships for Housing Solutions
The company is collaborating with hotel operators in Ketchum and Mammoth to secure essential beds for employees, combating the ongoing housing shortage in these influential mountain communities.
The Achievement of Tiny Town
After significant planning and execution, Tiny Town has been completed, bringing 95 tiny homes to life. This project marks a major achievement in providing permanent housing for year-round employees, with over half of the units now occupied.
Childcare Expansion Efforts
Addressing the childcare needs in underserved areas is another priority for Aspen One. Recent contributions are paving the way for more families to access quality childcare services:
Collaboration with Blue Lake Preschool
Aspen One has committed $500,000 to Blue Lake Preschool to expand its facilities, which will add 33 licensed childcare seats, enhancing the support for working families in the region.
Continued Support and Community Engagement
Aspen One remains focused on tackling various community challenges, including childcare, sustainability, access to transportation, and engagement in advocacy. By working with local partners, the company strives to create tangible solutions for its communities.
Aspen One’s Vision for the Future
With a mission centered around the well-being of its employees and community members, Aspen One's strategic priorities underscore its commitment to nurturing the essence of the regions it serves. Through enhanced housing, improved childcare options, and sustainable practices, Aspen One aspires to set new standards of community interconnectedness.
