Housing is a loss leader: it's expensive to create and it's intensive to build. But it's necessary to house the people who bring the 24/7 vibrancy which attracts businesses and economic development. This is clearly evident in cities like Minneapolis.
Something to consider: Whether you're converting a building or building new, the cost of creating housing can rarely be covered by the rents that (most) people can afford. The private market cannot create enough housing on its own, but neither can our public agencies.
This is amazing. Thank you Senator @amyklobuchar & @SenTinaSmith for including Sandstone's workforce housing in the Fiscal Year '25 federal budget bills that passed the Senate and House Appropriations Committees. #historictaxcredits#historicbuildingreuse

I'm currently working with the City of Sandstone, MN (and several others) on the rehab & reuse of the historic Sandstone School. "The Rock" has had many people pass through its halls over the years. If you have any stories, please share with @akpix at @MPRnews - and me!
