The Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority will move its office out of downtown Aspen this spring to the Truscott complex at the golf course.
APCHA currently leases office space on Hyman Avenue for about $90,000 a year and the lease expires in May, according to Assistant City Manager Diane Foster.
The city owns the old Red Roof Inn/Truscott building, of which half of APCHA’s staff currently resides in the former motel reception area.
The new space that APCHA will occupy is the balance of the old restaurant space that is empty and is occasionally used for larger meetings.
Foster said rent there will be either equal to or less than the current cost, and it will be a reduction over the allocation APCHA would have had to pay if it moved into the new City Hall, which it is not.
