Lake 100 Executive Panel Discussion
Sponsored by RoMac - Venetian Gardens
Wednesday, May 10th
The Lake 100 Executive panel discussion on "Lake County's Obstacles for Building Workforce
Housing" left us with thought-provoking insights and questions to ponder.
Do we need to rethink housing codes to drive down costs? Where can we effectively and affordably house our growing workforce? Considering land scarcity—after all, 'God isn't creating any more dirt'—how do we make the most of what we have?
Danielle Stroud, Al Minner, Joe Ziler, and Dan Tatro voiced their challenges, from regulatory hurdles to the rising interest rates affecting the affordability for potential buyers. But the conversation didn't stop at identifying problems. It also sparked discussions on how Lake 100 community business people can contribute to solutions.
This event was an enlightening step towards understanding and tackling the workforce housing crisis in Lake County. Let's keep this crucial conversation going!
