Affordable Housing Is Being Built At The Lake, And This Company Is Helping To Power It

It may not make TikTok reels and magazine spreads, but low-cost, affordable housing is quietly expanding at the Lake. And for several recent projects, Catalyst Electric owner Jon Bussey says he’s thrilled to have his team helping turn the lights on.

Catalyst is among the largest electric companies in the Lake of the Ozarks area — you see their signature bright-green logo bustling around the region every day (even nights… they offer 24/7 emergency service). And while dock wiring is what much of Bussey’s team spends their time on during the summer months, Catalyst has become known for their excellence on commercial job sites.

His team’s ability to hit even difficult deadlines was on display for the Four Seasons apartments, a new income-based apartment complex in Camdenton that opened in late 2025.

The project scope was substantial — 48 units with an office space and storage building — and the timeline was… ambitious. But in the end, the Catalyst crew worked overtime to get the job done, on time.

“We had a great experience working with Catalyst on the Four Seasons Apartments project,” said Streamline General Contractors Project Manager Jake Pryor. He called their team “professional, responsive, and committed to delivering quality work throughout the project.”

Pryor added, “They communicated well, stayed engaged with the schedule, and were a dependable partner from start to finish. We appreciate their efforts and would gladly work with them again on future projects.”

Catalyst was involved in another recent project to bring more affordable housing to the Lake area, the City of Richland’s housing project, built by the Richland Housing Authority.

The aim was to replace a previous building that burned down in 2025. Bussey said the project was fairly small in scale, but it was a design-build… without a full set of plans. “We came up with a layout that suited the city’s needs,” he explained.

Of course, it’s not just affordable housing: the 27-man team at Catalyst is equipped for any size or type of job builders bring to them.
