What innovative new building technologies or designs can we introduce to the region that can reduce costs and make the best use our land? Be open and willing to try new designs, and housing types.
Do your developments follow the best practices in design? A key component in introducing new housing types to our region is ensuring new development fits into the tapestry of our community.
Look for ways to partner with Groundwork or other not for profits to bring a product to market that brings units online for a less than market rate.
Talk to elected leaders about smart design and the barriers that are preventing you from building a more affordable product.
