The Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation is doing what it can to ensure you have a roof over your head if you decide to move to the area. In what it called “a strategic leap towards collaborative economic growth,” the KCEDC has submitted a grant proposal to build the housing stock in the cities of Algoma and Kewaunee and the Village of Luxemburg. According to a 2019 housing study prepared by the Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission, more than two-thirds of Kewaunee County's housing stock is more than 50 years old, and there is a need for rental units and starter homes. The study also points out that Kewaunee County has a limited amount of land for new housing and the infrastructure needed to go with it. The initiative being spearheaded by KCEDC aims to address local housing needs and to be a model for other rural economic development organizations with the grant. The KCEDC is seeking collaborative partnerships to help make the plan a reality. With the initiative still in its infancy, the KCEDC hopes to provide updates throughout the upcoming year.
