A shortage of affordable housing – and a shortage of teachers – recently forced leaders in Eagle County to try an ambitious new project. They’ve taken the unusual step of becoming a builder and landlord for some of the school staff on their payroll.
Miller Flats is a 37 unit housing complex built exclusively for school staff in Edwards.
