HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS SURGE IN RACINE COUNTY
Racine County has experienced a surge of commercial development. More businesses recognize the value of investing in Racine County – leading to a great need for more talent. For Racine County to meet the talent needs of new and expanding businesses, the universal understanding was that housing availability needed to increase exponentially.
Racine County, RCEDC, local municipalities, and partnering developers have taken the initiative to meet the housing needs head on. Because of this comprehensive collaboration, we’re experiencing a much-needed surge in housing development, leading to greater opportunities for our employers, as well as current and future residents.
