SEWRPC holds public meeting in Elkhorn on boosting area’s affordable housing
ELKHORN — If you build it, they will come.
The Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission say more affordable housing in communities with big employers or those with clusters of industries will help build a local workforce. The agency is recommending municipalities in the seven-county region—including Walworth County—make plans to increase multi-family and single-family homes on smaller lots in its preliminary housing plan.
Among its details, the plan suggests municipalities with sewer service should provide developent of single-family houses of less than 1,200 square feet on lots less than 10,000 square feet, and provide 10 multi-family housing units per acre.
Public meetings on the plan are being held in each county over the next four weeks. A meeting will be held in Elkhorn on Monday, Nov. 19, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Community Room of Matheson Memorial Library and Community Center, 101 N. Wisconsin St.
