Communities are often provided with recommendations and action plans for housing development (both short and long-term), as well as, tools and policies that will assist in implementation based on an examination of the demographics, economic characteristics and trends, and current housing market conditions.  This study will deliver valuable information that community leaders, stakeholders, and decision-makers can use to promote development activity and investment as it shows those potential developers and investors the needs and viability of targeted projects within their communities.

 County communities have commissioned this study through Maxfield Research and Consulting. The County is hoping that the study will analyze and ascertain the housing needs county-wide as well as the specific needs of each of the six individual communities within the county.  This housing study is the first step in securing the necessary residential options for those individuals living, working or considering relocation to Dodge County. Once complete, the study’s results will provide City and County officials with data that can effectively market the community to appropriate developers as well as aid them in their planning process.

The Dodge County Comprehensive Housing Needs Analysis has funded by donations from community stakeholders.  Additionally, the project received a $5,000 Feasibility Study grant from Compeer Financial.  The study’s findings will be presented to the Community on Wednesday, April 17^th at 4:30pm in Conference Room B of the Government Services Building.
