New Housing Development
There is a need for more housing throughout many of the towns in Meeker County. Over the years, we have noticed an increasing need and demand (specifically within Litchfield) for multifamily housing for seniors, affordable workforce housing, and executive-style homes.
We highly encourage you to meet with MDC to have a pre-development meeting prior to contacting other agencies. It is easier for us to help clients to the best of our ability before they unveil their plans to others. In many cases, we can make the process easy for clients, where we avoid many of the pitfalls/delays that can happen in development.
