City Commission Workshop
The City Commission workshop focused on the housing strategy outreach results. Discussions included the involvement of various stakeholders, the creation of an inclusive planning process, and the engagement of hard-to-reach populations. Key topics included the age of the current housing stock, demolition rates, and the estimated cost of building new houses. Activities at the Housing 101 meeting involved prioritizing housing needs and identifying suitable housing types for different areas. Stakeholder meetings with builders, developers, realtors, lenders, and neighborhood planning council leadership addressed rising construction costs, the need for diverse housing types, and challenges in the housing market.
