On Jan. 27, the Big Sky Resort Tax Board voted to continue the legislative effort on a “Penny for Housing” bill.
If the legislation passes and a ballot measure is put before voters, would you vote in favor of a 1-percent increase in resort tax for workforce housing? Why or why not?
Laura MacPhersonBig Sky, Montana
“I would say yes, because we really need it in Big Sky. We want the workforce to be a part of our community and not be pushed out—we need affordable housing in order for that to be possible.”
C.J. RadkeBig Sky, Montana
“I would say no, because first I want to see the full plan. If I’m going to pay into the program, I want to know that my employees are going to be able to utilize the program.”
Hannah VictoryBig Sky, Montana
“I would vote for it, because I think it’s important to keep this community going. It’s booming right now and we need to keep it growing to keep our own lives going. But I think the tax needs to be dispersed in a way that it doesn’t become a burden for our community [members].”
Tai BrightBig Sky, Montana
“I would vote for it, but I think it’s important to identify the right location for affordable employee housing. I don’t necessary feel like the Mountain Village is the right place for it with its high property values.”
