A company that manufactures modular affordable housing has confirmed it will open a large facility in Pueblo and employ close to 200 people here.
On Monday, a representative from the company — indieDwell — and the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation held a video teleconference to announce that indieDwell will open a 100,000 square-foot facility in Pueblo. The factory, which will be the second for indieDwell on top of its current facility in Boise, Idaho, will employ up to 200 workers at full capacity and generate an estimated $16 million in annual payroll, according to PEDCO officials.
City Council will be giving indieDwell about $1.7 million from the city’s half-cent fund for economic development for the employment commitment indieDwell is making. Council will formally vote to approve that sum at its next regular meeting on Nov. 11.
indieDwell has committed to invest about $13 million in the manufacturing facility it is moving into at 205 N. Elizabeth St. near the Riverwalk — formerly the AG Warehouse — and also has committed to employing a minimum of 171 full-time employees at the facility whose annual salaries before benefits will be $38,248, according to the city and PEDCO.

More cheap mobile homes to keep poor people poor?
You know, besides all the great new physical outlet jobs, there’s a bunch of money to be made online.
When I first started doing online surveys, I averaged a dollar an hour :)
Then I started to do website reviews and then face time reviews and critiques of brands and websites and I make on average about 40 an hour now.
Sometimes I’ll get some project that pays 100 or more for an hour of my time.
It’s a GREAT country and there is NEVER a reason to not be able to make a buck.
God Bless America.
Would you rather stay in a mobile home or in a shelter or out in the streets?
My father was a custom home builder and he complained that Boulder city fathers zoned small homes out of the market which would fit needs of single and retired couples out of owning the home and property.
I live in a “mobile home” and I bet I’m not alone here. We paid $46,000 for a home that probably would’ve cost $200,000 if it was site built. We have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,725 square feet with brand new appliances.
I looked at manufactured homes a few years ago. If you can own the lot they are on, they can be a good deal.
Do they just slap some siding on those shipping containers?
I actually think shipping containers have tremendous possibilities.
Post WWII, people were living in old rail cars. Had an uncle whose first child was born in a chicken coop they’d made a home in
Manufactured homes are, or depending on the company, are very good houses. Quality is far superior than the tradition site built ones. Think Sears and their kits yet fully assembled.
Don’t confuse mobile homes with manufactured homes. Just not the same. While mobile homes serve a need and are necessary. A mobile home is designed to me moved from site to site much like a trailer whereas a manufactured home, once erected on site, is a permanent house.
The worst thing about manufactured homes is that they often come in developments where you rent the lot the house is on, and the rent is more than an HOA for a house. But as I wrote before, a manufactured house on a lot that you already own is a great deal. Not as an investment itself, but being low cost so you can use your money elsewhere. And if the whole development is manufactured homes, you will likely pay a high HOA fee every month, more than most site built homes.
I like the look!
