The Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation wants you to have more neighbors in the future as it places a large focus on increasing the area’s housing stock. KCEDC Executive Director Ben Nelson outlined the organization’s major priorities during Tuesday’s Kewaunee County Board Meeting. According to data shared by Nelson, Kewaunee County’s available home units and housing permits far trail what is seen in Brown, Door, and Manitowoc counties. All of Kewaunee County’s major employers that have at least 100 employees identified housing as the number one issue they face when bringing in new workers. Nelson says there are a number of ways to approach this issue that requires a lot of people to come to the table.
Nelson also highlighted redeveloping the former Kewaunee Power Station site, diversifying and growing the business community, and advancing technologies as other priorities for the KCEDC moving forward.
