Town working for more diverse housing options in 2021
by Mark Cowling | Florence Reminder & Blade Tribune
Although building continues to boom in Florence, it’s not what everyone needs, and town officials are aware of that.
“One of the things we continually hear from employers in the area is that, ‘We just love all this growth that’s occurring in Florence,’” but for a lot of their employees, it’s not quite affordable, and the town needs more housing diversity, Town Manager Brent Billingsley told the Florence Reminder & Blade-Tribune in a year-end interview.
“So we’ve been working very hard on that,” he said. “We’ve got a number of things in the works.”
