MAPS Campus Master Plan

Background

The Canyonlands Health Care Special Service District (CHCSSD) is a public agency established to support and advance the continuum of healthcare needs for residents in Grand County, Utah. Their mission is to ensure that the senior population has access to high-quality health care, housing, and community resources at every stage of aging. The CHCSSD has been responsible for the development of the MAPS (Moab Area Partnership for Seniors) campus, which is a 28-acre parcel designed as a mixed-use community for Moab’s aging population. The remaining eight acres are available for development to complete the MAPS master plan, focusing on independent housing for seniors aged 55 and older and additional mixed-use opportunities.
