City of Redwood Falls hosts open house Thursday to examine housing needs

The Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership (SWMHP) and the City of Redwood Falls are teaming up this week to examine possible options for Reflections Prairie Block 1, a new housing development that has been zoned for multi-family housing and light retail use south of town.

Now the city and SWMHP wants to hear from community residents, professionals and employers experiencing hiring shortages or new hires falling through because they can’t find housing.

You’re invited to an open house on March 21 from 4pm to 6pm at the Redwood Area Community Center to identify gaps in housing for the Redwood Falls community, prioritize those gaps and match them up with appropriate funding sources to ensure the best fit for the community.

The city wants to find out residents’ interest in topics such as renting or owning, how many beds/baths are preferred, and others. Do you want to take care of the property yourself or would you prefer a homeowner association?

Again, this open house about Redwood Falls community housing needs is set for March 21 from 4pm to 6pm at the Redwood Area Community Center.
