You will certainly see more coming from the Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation about their role in addressing affordable housing in the area. Kewaunee County Economic Development Corporation shared the details of Project Homestead with the Kewaunee County Board of Supervisors during its Tuesday night meeting. Pointing to the small population of even its biggest communities, Nelson said the KCEDC would act like a developer as they look to bring contractors to the table.  Leading the efforts are City of Kewaunee Administrator Heath Eddy, Village of Luxemburg President Dan Porath, City of Algoma Administrator Matt Murphy, Luxemburg-Casco Superintendent Jo-Ellen Fairbanks, Bank of Luxemburg CEO Tim Treml, and Jordan Ebert from Ebert Enterprises and the Luxemburg Chamber of Commerce. The project's goal is to build affordable housing and fund future development in the county. Nelson says the program would be modeled off some aspects of what is being done in Sheboygan County, which puts some standards on who can purchase the homes being built.

Nelson added that local businesses are also prepared to sign onto the project later. The Kewaunee County Board also received an update on Bug Tussel’s progress and the county’s jail project. It also unanimously approved a snowmobile and ATV trail maintenance grant and gave the ok to purchase tri-axle equipment packages for the highway department by an 18-1 vote.
