Concept renderings that we produced for the Oshara Village Project
Santa Fe County had completed three generations of a RFP process directed at area organizations. The applicants were requested to submit projects that unitized the county’s money that they had set aside for affordable house production. There were four projects that were asked to provide final proposals. The two that stood out the most were from the Santa Fe Green Builders Guild who proposed development of a subdivision in Tierra Contenta, and from Danny Buck for development of town houses in Oshara Village. As a disclaimer I must say that we assisted in both of these projects and did what we could to have them move forward. However, in the final hours of decision the County decided to not move forward on any of them and instead to focus on the Galisteo Street Property that they already owned. I must say that i agree with that, though they might have saved quite a bit of resources by making that decision 12 months ago. Their Galisteo Street Property is the old Santa Fe County Public Works site, located inside of the Santa Fe City Limits and right next to one of our new rail-runner stops. It has every possible thing going for it in regards to sustainable locations, and potential except for a clear path of excavation. We hope that they do move forward.
