Our Role in the Community
Our community offers challenges to attainable housing that larger population
centers don’t face. Our basic industry, tourism, requires a large number of
seasonal workers as well as full time permanent workers, thus our need for
all types of housing, from ownership to employee and short-term rental
housing (6 months or less). Tourism also creates a diverse employment
base of non-basic industries: retail, housing, utilities, public transportation,
personal care, health, education, local government, finance, entertainment
and social services. If we cannot provide housing for those that work in these
non-basic industries, it will be difficult, and ultimately perhaps impossible to
sustain our basic industry – tourism.
