Payson has seen an uptick in building during the dark days of the pandemic, with plans already submitted for 400 new homes and a proposed annexation that would add another 825 dwellings.
The just-submitted plans to annex a vast track of land at the end of Doll Baby Road would add up to 825 homesites to Paysonâs housing inventory. State law allows developers to negotiate for zoning before bringing property into town boundaries.
The new project was revealed during Town Manager Troy Smithâs town status report during last weekâs council meeting. The figures show that in commercial and residential construction the pandemic did nothing to cool the building boom in Rim Country.
