Montana town’s economy withers due to lack of affordable housing
A slice of paradise in Montana is suffering economic disruption, but it isn’t a result of any political battles or environmental change. Instead, Seeley Lake’s problem lies in its lack of a centralized sewer system. The Missoula County community’s reluctance to come up with a plan to replace its septic system means no affordable housing can be built for working people. While high-end septic systems can service multi-family dwellings, local officials explain that they’re not cost effective for the type of housing developers would seek to build in the area. The solution? Only a sewer system will do. That lack of accommodation means Seeley Lake’s biggest employer -- Pyramid Mountain Lumber -- can’t attract enough workers to continue, and is closing the family-owned business which has been operating for 75 years. "To make the announcement to the crew was probably the toughest thing; I've got friends, family, you know, generations, good friends that work here. I had to tell them we're going to shut the doors," Todd Johnson, a third-generation lumber mill worker whose grandfather started the mill in 1948, told ABC News.
