This is an invitation for experienced private and nonprofit development teams to present qualifications that demonstrate their ability to undertake the development of market-rate housing on County-owned land in the Town of Cajah's Mountain in Caldwell County, North Carolina. Qualified developers will demonstrate experience in the construction of housing developments of middling density (3-4 units per acre) accompanied by areas of common greenspace. At the April 10, 2023 Caldwell County Board of Commissioners meeting, the commissioners voted to purchase the parcel located at 1901 Connelly Springs Rd. from Valdese Memorial Hospital. The primary purpose of this purchase was to create a new EMS base in the southwest portion of the county, which is growing quickly. Rather than just purchasing the old hospital, the County was given the opportunity to purchase the entire parcel with the idea to use the rest of the land for economic development purposes. The County, facing as housing shortage, would like to see the land used for the development of new residential housing units. The selected developer will execute an agreement with Caldwell County for control of a County-owned parcel for the development of a target of 40 units, to serve primarily as workforce housing and catering to middle-income households.
