X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Housing in Dakota County and what does that mean for Businesses?
\n.\nAffordable\, quality housing is the backbone of our regional economy. It is critical to workers&rsquo\; quality of life\, enhances employers&rsquo\; ability to expand and grow\, and is vital to attract new businesses.
\n \;
\nOur region is not producing enough workforce housing to meet the demand of our growing economy. Right now\, one-in-five workers in the Twin Cities are housing cost-burdened\, spending more than 30% of their income on housing.
\n \;
\nAgainst this backdrop\, policymakers\, municipalities\, and regions across the state\, non-profit\, and business leaders are coming together to create a stronger commitment to the urgent need for more homes that are affordable for more Minnesotans.
\n \;
\n\nJoin us for a conversation with an interesting panel of government\, business\, and non-profit leaders about our region&rsquo\;s housing situation and what we can do to improve it.
