We had a wonderful time at the Hillsdale County Board of Realtors lunch and learn event. Thank you for the invitation to share our Housing Study Collaborative and other opportunities we are working on!

The Hillsdale County Board of REALTORS had the good fortune to host Sally Clark, Annette Sands and Vicki Morris of the Economic Development Partnership at this week's Lunch N Learn, sponsored by Lori Lemon and Jenny Leininger of County National Bank.

The Economic Development Partnership of Hillsdale County (EDP) had the pleasure of presenting information about the Hillsdale County Housing Study, a countywide effort to provide clear, reliable data on what housing we have today and what we need next. This is especially important because many local employers are already feeling the impact of housing shortages when recruiting and retaining workers, and our communities need up-to-date information to plan for the future.

If you would like to learn more about the Housing Study, please feel free to reach out to the EDP or if you’d like to join our Housing Study meetings, we would be happy to send you a meeting invitation. Contact Sally Clark – [email protected] or Annette Sands [email protected]
