Plan updates data on housing, the ‘backbone’ of every community. Plus, the Weekly News Reel!

The 2023 Moab Area Affordable Housing Plan outlines the state of housing in our community. It’s an important document filled with data that will be used by local government and community organizations to set policy around this fundamental need. Today on the news, we speak with Moab Area Housing Task Force Chair Laura Harris about what’s new and different in the latest plan. 

Plus, the Weekly News Reel! Sophia Fisher of The Times-Independent discusses the ongoing trial of a local man who was arrested for allegedly vandalizing Moab with stickers protesting tourism and UTVs. Sophia also talks about the town of Castle Valley’s response to a wedding fiasco that took place near Castleton Tower a few months ago. We also hear from Gwen Dillworth, a new reporter with The Times-Independent, about daycares in Moab that will soon lose federal pandemic-related funding. Gwen also talks about two sisters at Grand County High School who placed at a recent cross country event. Alison Harford of the Moab Sun News covers the Grand County High School’s upcoming musical, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and a new preschool in La Sal.
