The Whetstone Community Housing project has made significant progress over the summer of 2024. The County and Town of Crested Butte have agreed on important terms for the water tap fees and have scheduled a work session to finalize terms on the roundabout and underpass.
Additionally, Whetstone is in the process of the final land use review, for which select information can be found under the Learn tab of this website. The full application package can be accessed through the project webpage on the official Gunnison County website; please follow the directions provided under "Application Materials and Information", and note that the Land Use Submission includes engineered plans for the project, budgets, and compliance information for how the project will meet County standards. |

The ProjectThe project was launched by Gunnison County in 2019 when it purchased the 13-acre Whetstone parcel, located just south of the Town of Crested Butte, with the intent of developing an affordable and workforce housing neighborhood for local community members.
Over the past years, the team led by Trestle Strategy Group and Williford LLC conducted extensive outreach and technical exploration to create the Sketch Plan that was approved. As the name implies, Sketch Plan is just the beginning. |
Community EngagementCreating a successful development strategy involves a solid understanding of the community’s needs and interests, as well as the technical characteristics of the site and development finances. Throughout the project, community members and stakeholders have been invited to share their perspective with the project team through a robust engagement process. Click below to learn about it.
