HomeNE & Thriverr Live Collaborative Event
Today’s webinar is a unique collaboration with our friends from Dakota Resources and Thriverr Live! Tom Farber, Britton, SD, and Dave Rippe, Queen City Development from Hastings, NE are the speakers for the event, focusing on housing in the business district of your community. They both tell their story of housing in traditionally commercial spaces and how it has affected their communities.
The Custer Economic Development Corporation highlighted housing initiatives since 2014, noting the construction of more than 80 homes and 61 apartment units since 2013. Scotti Ross and Stuart Fox emphasized that many of these projects were made possible through Tax Increment Financing (TIF).
The November HomeNE webinar focused on rural housing initiatives in Nebraska, with a presentation from John Madsen and Jon Schmaderer highlighting successful housing development strategies in Stuart. They discussed partnerships, funding approaches, and the role of local organizations in promoting affordable housing.
