The Menomonie Housing Committee has released its findings on how to solve the city’s housing needs.
Two out of three proposals have already been adopted by the Menomonie City Council. The first adopted proposal would provide more incentives for tax increment financing projects. The second would ease restrictions for housing developers in the city. Both measures aim to make construction in Menomonie more appealing. The final proposal would reduce the lot size for single-family homes, to allow more units to be built on one plot.
If approved, it would be the first major change to lot size regulations since the 1970s.
