But as Utah’s largest homebuilder marked the construction milestone Thursday with a celebration for Ivory Homes’ employees, its CEO promised new strategies to make future dwellings more affordable, energy efficient and kinder to the environment.
“We understand that if we do our job right," Clark Ivory said, “we will create neighborhoods and communities that will appreciate in value and be sustainable over the long term.”
Ivory said the Murray-based company would double the number of homes it is setting aside for workforce housing, expanding to 200 newly built dwellings per year reserved at affordable prices for purchase by teachers, nurses, veterans, police officers, first-time buyers and those working in Utah’s construction trades.
