MODULAR CONSTRUCTION STRATEGIC FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING

The County of Ulster is seeking a proposal for a modular construction strategic plan to address housing affordability through modular construction methods. The plan should include market feasibility, stakeholder engagement, identification of barriers and solutions, implementation plan, and community-wide benefits. The project aims to develop a modular/panelized construction facility in Ulster County, NY, through a public-private partnership, dedicated to producing new affordable housing. • The proposal should include a comprehensive modular construction strategic plan, a modular construction facility implementation plan, and a fee/cost proposal. • The plan should identify potential market demand for modular construction products and workforce needs to support a growing modular construction industry. • The proposal should include a detailed analysis of the relative cost savings of modular construction compared to traditional construction practices. • The plan should address zoning, regulatory, and logistical barriers to modular construction in Ulster County. • The proposal should include a community-wide benefits plan, including improving housing affordability, reducing environmental impact during construction, and creating job training opportunities in sustainable construction.
