Yellowstone National Park has initiated a major, multimillion-dollar housing improvement effort that will substantially upgrade National Park Service employee housing across the park. Among those effort are the replacement of 64 outdated trailers with high-quality modular cabins, improving the condition of 150 non-trailer and non-historic housing units including new siding, roofing, insulation and flooring, the rehabilitation of deteriorating historic homes, and the addition of housing in existing developed areas. About 50% of Yellowstone’s 800 employees live in park housing, many in highly remote areas. Over the next 24 months, the park will spend tens of millions of dollars to replace the trailers with the modular cabins, upgrade aging utility lines, perform site improvements including landscaping, and invest in other housing improvement projects. Future public input will be sought as planning and actions develop specific to the goals.
