Local and state elected officials, community stakeholders, private developers, and employers are grappling with Ohio’s recognized lack of high-quality, workforce-attainable housing options. While Ohio has been successful in securing numerous large and small projects, communities are now confronting the challenge of finding housing solutions for the new workers that these economic development wins will bring. In some areas, the lack of new housing is becoming a significant barrier to continued economic growth.
This session will frame the current state of Ohio’s housing market, examining both the positive aspects and challenges. We’ll explore trends in the construction of new housing units, as well as market conditions in the sale and leasing activity of existing housing stock. Following this, attention will shift to the “How?”, “What?”, and “Why?” of local communities’ involvement in planning, zoning, regulatory activities, and housing development transactions, all aimed at sparking solutions within their markets.
Speakers from Ohio REALTORS, the County Commissioners Association of Ohio, Bricker Graydon LLP, and the public and private sectors will share insights on successful public-private partnership models and the tools available to to build collaborative partnerships for success. This session marks the beginning of an ongoing dialogue, recognizing that finding sustainable solutions will take time, ongoing collaboration, and a collective effort across all stakeholders.
