Cloud City Council has approved a pilot program that the city hopes will help create more new single-family homes in the community. Cloud has been averaging over 100 building permits a year for single-family homes, with 49 building permits so far this year. So, at the rate that we are issuing single-family building permits, we're going to run out of buildable lots if we don't do something. Cloud needs to build 609 new single-family homes. City Council President Mike Conway called the initiative "revolutionary".
