Here is a design with the changes that were suggested. If someone, would take this and get an estimate to print these, 2 sided, legal, glossy, where the qty price break is etc, that would be great. Also might want to know what the charge to fold will be this brochure is designed to fold in half twice…if you see anything else that I can add or take away let me know.
The New York Mills Workforce Housing Partnership has been working to determine if it should put together an application for the upcoming Greater MN Housing Fund grant cycle. This collaboration started in November with participants from City Government, Local Financing, Community Orgs, Local Businesses along with reps from both Greater MN Housing and MN Housing Finance Agency attending a meeting at OTWCAC.
The decision was made to conduct a survey to see what type of housing was needed to accommodate the workforce and other residents interested in living in NYM. The survey (NYMWFHP Survey) was created, delivered and received with much support in December. We had a terrific response.
Quick summary: 2614 surveys out (1000 in the paper), 153 surveys in (10 from the paper). 48 replying they want to move to NYM. See survey summary NYMWFHP Survey Summary .
Many respondents are interested in Saving for Downpayment, Homebuyer Eduation and Financial Literacy . Since homeownership is one of the best asset building vehicles out there, it is critical to help as many people who want to own a home become mortgage ready as this will go a long way towards reducing poverty. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
On Saturday, October 27, over 60 community members worked together to create vision for the future of our community. Looking 10-15 years out, this is what we came up with:
New York Mills is a special community that has developed a unique economy which encompasses culture and arts, outdoor recreation, and the tradition of agriculture. Farmers markets and buying local provide an opportunity to support our young entrepreneurs, our neighbors, and in turn sustain our community and ourselves. New York Mills is a welcoming place for everyone from the young to the young at heart.
Our heritage of cooperation is strong in our collective spirit. Our traditional values nurture strong volunteerism. The involvement of youth is seen in every aspect of the community. We have a collaborative, close-knit and supportive community culture that is underpinned by visionary leadership.
