They can come back here and build a new affordable house. And if we can get our population back up again, we can start getting more industry in Deer Lodge, we can get more businesses to come to Deer Lodge. It will all work in together. I want to get this population back up where it belongs,” said Deer Lodge Mayor Jim Jess.Hicks says there is financial assistance available for those who are interested in moving into Beaumont Place.“There are even programs that will pay up to 30% of your cost, which is huge. So, I think people that are interested in homes, they maybe don’t know enough about the programs that are available out there to be able to buy homes. So go work with a broker, work with somebody that knows, like a bank, about the programs that are available out there. And you might be surprised that there are actually ways to get into homes right now that you may not have known about,” said Hicks.Eight single-family units are already accounted for, but there is still plenty of availability.Construction on a home can be done in about three months, or even faster if it is a modular home that is put on a permanent foundation.Other builders can bring their plans to Beaumont Place.“We need multifamily. So, we’ve got to find a way to get some of these apartments going and increase the capacity for the city,” said Hicks.Beaumont Place is next to the Pintler Meadows subdivision, a state-owned project for State Prison workers with four buildings representing over two dozen units of housing already completed.</div></body>
