Lincoln County Prioritized Site Inventory For Affordable Housing Development Property Profiles

Summary

The 2023 Lincoln County Housing Needs Assessment identified a need for affordable housing in the County based on the number of cost-burdened households, displaced workers, overcrowded households, under-housed residents, and substandard and obsolete homes.

The Needs Assessment laid out strategies for affordable housing production, with Action Item 4A being “Compile a prioritized inventory of potential housing development sites”. This action item was labeled high impact with a 0-1–year timeframe.

This inventory is a response to Action Item 4A: a catalog of potential sites for housing in Lincoln County, with at least one parcel in almost every town.

Each profile in this inventory includes parcel details such as size, zoning, and access to utilities as well as development potential. In addition to a picture of the parcel, each profile includes an image or two to illustrate what the potential development density would look like.

The goal of this inventory is to provide a catalog for developers, funders, or other entities interested in creating or supporting affordable housing development in Lincoln County to reference when choosing a parcel to purchase, or municipality to engage in discussion with.
