The City of Rawlins has secured a 750,000 dollar grant from the State Loan and Investment Board to convert the historic Hugus Ferguson building into workforce apartments. The project aims to address local housing shortages by repurposing a long vacant structure in the downtown area. The conversion focuses on creating attainable housing for local workers at fair market prices. This adaptive reuse project prevents the need for new construction on greenfield sites and revitalizes a historic downtown asset.
