Current Initiatives

In July 2018, the City completed a Comprehensive Housing Study to explore current and future needs and to identify gaps and barriers that are impacting the housing market. The study included an in-depth demographic analysis, a housing condition survey of specific neighborhoods, and a robust community outreach process.

The City is experiencing a dramatically changing economic landscape. The recent closure of the region’s second largest employer, the Navajo Generating Station, in November of 2019 is expected to have significant impacts on the community. At the same time, the growing tourism industry in Page is placing pressures on the existing housing market, with increased demand for both temporary and permanent lodging for service industry employees and a growing market for vacation home rentals which will require shifts in the housing supply to accommodate demand.

The changing landscape is the reason the City is undertaking these strategic initiatives:

• Housing Strategy Development and Prioritization Memo
• Land Use Map Amendment and Zoning Audit
• Design Guidelines
• Targeted Industry Analysis
