Mitchell housing study to be unveiled at Sept. 26 meeting

Talk about it

The Mitchell Area Development Corporation will be hosting a meeting to review a housing market analysis for the Mitchell Area on Sept. 26.

The meeting will be held from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Highland Conference Center, 1920 Highland Way in Mitchell.

The purpose of the study is to provide a housing market analysis for the Mitchell area. The study is intended to be a practical and usable document that will benefit both the public and private sector.

It’s one of two studies to be unveiled this month. A meeting to discuss an economic base study will be held the next day.

The housing market analysis will help identify rental housing development needs, examine single-family housing issues, provide a good inventory of what housing currently exists and address any unique housing situations that may exist.

The study work was conducted by Community Partners Research, Inc. of Faribault, Minn. Founded in 1995, Community Research Partners has completed hundreds of housing studies for cities and counties in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

The $26,400 study was done in cooperation with the Mitchell Housing Authority, the Mitchell Area Manufactures Association, the Parkston Area Development Corporation, and the Mitchell Area Development Corporation. People who want to attend are asked to RSVP to Laurie Cooper at the Mitchell Area Development Corporation by Sept. 21. Cooper can be reached at 996-1140 or at lauriemadc@santel.net.
