When Richard Krueger moved from Flagstaff, Ariz., to Mancos, Colo., in April, he didn't expect to find himself living in a one-bedroom apartment.
But that's exactly what he found, thanks to a $1.3 million grant from Colorado Creative Industries, reports the Colorado Sun.
Krueger is a math and science teacher at Mancos High School; an ambulance driver and employee of Mesa Verde National Park also live in one of three new workforce housing units at Mancos Commons, which was built as part of a project to expand space for Mancos Press, which has been operating out of a storefront building for nine years.
The nonprofit raised money to restore the storefront, which once housed the town's newspaper office for nearly a century.
The new building, which opened in May, includes three one-bedroom apartments that can be used by qualified tenants, including Krueger, who makes about $4,000 less per year than his previous job in Flagstaff, reports KSUT.
"It didn't seem like the stereotypical Colorado mountain town that got overrun by a ski area and transformed into Disneyland," Krueger says.
"That's when I first really spent some time here, and I was like, 'Wow, it would be great to live here.'"
