![]() Construction is scheduled to begin later this spring on up to 14 single-family homes in central Colorado. The homes will uniquely be built by the Colorado Department of Transportation, which is embarking upon a home-building initiative designed to create affordable housing for its employees. The homes will be built in the town of Fairplay, some 85 miles to the southwest of Denver. A second Transportation Department project will see the building of a complex with nearly two dozen apartments in Frisco, just 30 miles to the south of Fairplay. Both sites are near the Interstate 70 corridor. The two building projects are expected to cost a combined $10.5 million. The home-building effort on the part of the Department of Transportation is regarded as a means of attracting workers to the agency. If all goes as expected, the Fairplay homes will be completed in the summer of 2024, with the Frisco apartments open for tenants by the following spring. The two projects come during a time when the average price of a home in the Centennial State exceeds $500,000; and average rents for a one-bedroom apartment are just under $1,400 a month.
