Housing could be key to helping Boulder County farmers find workers in limited, expensive labor market
Due to the expensive housing market in Boulder County, Colorado; farmers struggle to hire an affordable workforce. However, a local property which contains a large housing facility may be able to be repurposed in order to house farmhands. The facility has hosted laborers in the past, and with additional renovation it is possible that it could help farmers recruit a larger labor pool. Residents in the farming community are also interested in exploring other inexpensive agricultural worker housing options, in order to keep local farms operational.
