Town of Vail officials have been working for more than a year on a plan for alternatives to the controversial Booth Heights workforce housing project, a complicated idea. Things have become more complicated in the last few months.
In December, Vail Resorts “paused” its participation in three-way talks which included the town, the resort company and Triumph Development to find alternatives to Booth Heights. That announcement roughly coincided with Triumph canceling its purchase contract for the 23-acre parcel in East Vail.
In January, Vail Resorts Vice President of Mountain Planning Kyle Griffith in a letter to town officials stated the company’s intent to develop housing on the site.

Pieces may be falling into place to avoid the prospect of building workforce housing on the Booth Heights site in East Vail.
Vail Town Manager Scott Robson Tuesday announced that the Vail Town Council on Jan. 19 will get its first public look at a predevelopment agreement with Triumph Development to build housing on a town-owned site just east of the the Middle Creek Village apartments. That site is on the north side of Interstate 70, near the main Vail interchange.
