The Gill Family announced last week that they have recorded a restrictive covenant on their land that guarantees 65% of the lots in the High School Road Housing proposal will be for Teton County workers. The legally binding of their land answers the question of how the public can be assured that up to 203 workforce homes will be permanent housing inventory for local workers. Restrictive covenants bind the land itself. Amberley Baker and Bill Schwartz, who are legal representatives for the Gills, confirmed the restrictive covenant is now part of the land title. Of the arrangement, Nikki Gill said, “We are committed as a family, along with strong support for this project throughout the community, to make workforce housing in Teton County a reality now. We need critical housing in our valley for our health care workers and educators and more.” At this point, the project is at the rezone stage. Site plans and development details will occur at the sketch plan stage in 2021, provided the workforce housing rezone advances.
