Walworth County and the Walworth County Economic Development Alliance will host Breaking Ground: Walworth County Housing Summit to find solutions to the shortage of middle-income housing.
Walworth County Economic Development Alliance Executive Director Derek D’Auria says area school districts are seeing declining enrollment due to a lack of suitable housing for young families.
D’Auria says it’s starting to cause a commotion with employers.
D’Auria says a lot of people from Illinois are snatching up single family homes and converting them into short-term rentals.
Walworth County is hosting a housing summit on September 25th from 7:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the Abbey Resort in Fontana.
