Hillsborough County Public Schools has picked three developers to build affordable workforce housing when and if district-owned properties become available for redevelopment.

The county school board chose the developers Dec. 13 to work on the projects if the district decides to repurpose properties and convert them into affordable rental housing for middle and lower-income families — including school employees.

The developers include Tampa affordable housing developer Blue Sky Communities; Wire Development, also from Tampa; and RUDG, an LLC that shares an address with Miami mega-developer the Related Group.
