At the UMVRDC, we try to bring tools, resources and technical assistance to our member units of government to help solve local issues. We are well aware of the challenges communities are facing in regard to housing as housing-related issues showed up in five of the top 11 most important topics in our most recent Regional Survey. One way we could help is to bring attention to the available housing lots in the region. In the summer of 2024, the RDC contacted all of our communities in an effort to gather any available information on available housing lots (lot size, incentives, amenities, available utilities, etc.) with the intention of sharing it with prospective residents or existing residents looking to build. We compiled this data into a single resource for communities to use in promoting new housing development. We plan to continue to update and enhance this resource, making it a useful tool in strengthening our region’s housing stock. If your community has lots available and would like to add them to the inventory, please contact kevin@umvrdc.org.
