City of Ketchum Hosts Community Conversation Jan. 23

KETCHUM, Idaho –The city of Ketchum will host a Community Conversation asking residents, business owners, employees and customers for their input on ways to protect and stimulate the uses in the light industrial districts, and provide housing that is affordable for Ketchum workers and families that want to live where they work and play.

“Our community’s need for housing is dire,” said Mayor Neil Bradshaw. “With help from the citizens of Ketchum, I believe we can reach a solution that preserves the needs of the light industrial area and provides the housing we desperately need.”

In October, the Ketchum Planning and Zoning Commission approved zoning changes to the light industrial districts. Information obtained from the community prior to the recommendations going to City Council for approval is valuable in helping city leaders make important decisions for Ketchum.

Two sessions of the open house will be held on Jan. 23 at the Limelight Hotel. Join the city from noon to 1 p.m. or 5 to 6:30 p.m. for free pizza in exchange for your participation.
