Scaling Up: Harnessing Economies of Scale to Alleviate Housing Needs
Amanda Engell and Charlie McPherson, McCook Economic Development Corporation, presented great information about housing growth in McCook. A community without a new subdivision since before 1980, McCook is now seeing the construction of duplexes, single-family homes, infill development, and a new swimming pool as a result of intentional, invested activity in the community.

The July HomeNE webinar featured Minden’s transformation of a long-vacant historic building into five affordable housing units and a new downtown business. Presenters shared financing strategies, renovation lessons, and the partnerships that helped create new housing opportunities and revitalize the community.
