Join a chat: Central Minnesota’s housing squeeze

We're holding another online live chat at 11:30 this morning to talk about affordable housing in central Minnesota.

This is part of the planning effort that several hundred residents have been engaged in for more than a year, talking about what they want Crow Wing, Morrison, Wadena, Cass and Todd counties to look like in 20 years.

Right now, almost half of the low-income residents in those five counties spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. You can check out what some people think about the situation and what to do about it by going to this page .

Then come back to the same page at 11:30 a.m. Thursday when you can join in a live conversation. See you there.
