WEBINAR: Cost of Housing & Lack of Inventory – Ohio’s Next Big Economic Challenge
Date: Monday, January 22, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Zoom
Cost: FREE to OEDA Members! RSVP with Bricker Graydon at this link to attend
Whether you are in a metro area or a rural community, Ohio’s housing needs are great. If your economic development efforts do not include a plan for how to retain and attract talent through housing inventory and options, your economic development prospects will suffer long term.
OEDA and Bricker Graydon are offering this webinar to open 2024 with a discussion as to how your community can foster the development of housing of all types.
Session Title: Myth Busting – Do you REALLY know housing?
Presenters: Bricker Graydon Attorneys and Economic Development Consultant with special guest, Erin J. Prosser, Assistant Director of Housing Strategies, City of Columbus
Summary: Many communities are facing major housing challenges, with an increase in job opportunities and a gap in housing to support that job growth. Many communities also have an outdated view of their housing needs and what recent graduates, newly arriving workers, established families, empty nesters, and seniors want and can afford. Do you really know your community’s housing needs? Learn from a community about best practices that are working and what community policies can encourage residential development.
