received approval is a 60-unit apartment project off of U.S. Highway 93 behind the Organic Dry Cleaner. It would consist of five buildings with 12 units apiece, ranging from one to three bedrooms each.
Residents’ concerns echo the density and safety worries associated with Averill’s ear- lier apartment-heavy Second Street propos- als. But Averill says he’s trying to provide for the numerous workers who can’t afford hous- ing in Whitefish and have to live in Kalispell and Columbia Falls.
“We’re looking at affordable but quality,” he says. “You would want to live there.”
Averill and his family are also celebrat- ing the 10th anniversary of The Lodge at Whitefish Lake. Sean and his brother Brian opened the hotel with their father Dan in 2005.
“It struggled the first few years,” Averill says of The Lodge. “But it turned around. We’re happy. It’s been a fun ride.” FL
