Local Leaders Emphasize Importance of Housing Affordability Problem
In cities and towns across Minnesota, newly elected mayors and city council members assumed their positions Jan. 1. While each official typically has a list of policy objectives to be pursued during his or her term, an increase of affordable housing to meet growing demand is frequently on the top of the list. This year is no different: The new mayors of St. Paul and Minneapolis have stressed the need for their respective cities to address this problem.
