Yellowstone Announces Major Changes to Employee Housing

Yellowstone National Park has announced that they have initiated a multimillion dollar housing improvement effort that will upgrade employee housing across the park. The effort has chosen four goals to focus on, replace 64 outdated trailers with high quality modular cabins, improve the condition of 150 non trailer and non historic housing units, rehabilitate deteriorating historic homes, and add new housing capacity.

The upgrades are expected to take place over the next 2 years. Around half of the 800 Yellowstone employees live in park housing. Deferred maintenance in the park reportedly exceeds $500 million.
