“Housing needs in and around Solon have been a topic of discussion approached from various angles such as affordability, the need for various types of housing, where to put new housing, and impacts, both positive and potentially negative, to the community. A study commissioned by Johnson County may help guide future discussions on housing needs in Solon and the rural areas of the county.”

“Jeff Sauser, co-founding principal of CommunityScale, explained to the dozen or so attendees the multi-faceted nature of the report, which includes looking at existing housing stock, what ‘affordability’ means in Johnson County and what the income levels are, if people are able to access the housing they need, and if housing (or the lack of) is an obstacle to other economic development goals.”
