STRATEGIZING FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT - NORFOLK
Jul 15, 2021
JULY 2021 WEBINAR
Candice Alder ad Andy Colvin, who are with the Economic Development in Norfolk, Nebraska, shared the journey with the city from 2013-2020. Alder explained that Norfolk already had a housing issue in 2013, with 43 dwelling units available, and showed how their progress of 335 dwelling units as of 2020 has impacted the community. One of Norfolk's solutions to housing was to expand rental or apartment opportunities as well as homes for sell, this helped being in newcomers that were not ready to commit to buying a house as of yet.
Amy Haase and Joe Spitsen provided a great look at the Nebraska Housing Toolkit completed in 2022 by the Strategic Housing Council. The toolkit offers communities of all sizes comprehensive guidance, instructions, practical steps, and case studies to assist and develop their own housing development short and long-term plans.
On the September 2024 HomeNE Webinar you can hear from Megan Helberg, 2020 Nebraska Teach of the Year, as she talks about Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). She encourages community to put their talk into action and "Love Your Community". Finding ways to bridge the gap between the school and the community can lead to very positive results. Her message is one that emphasizes the ability to live in rural Nebraska and still chase your dreams!
The August, 2024 webinar is a revisit to the February 2022 HomeNE Webinar. Ben Conover is sharing where Conover Properties is today and the progress they have made in Norfolk, Tilden, Madison and Pierce in Northeast Nebraska. The amazing before and after renovation photos and the changes they are creating for their communities is a story worth hearing and sharing.
