What’s the best way for La Crosse County to use its resources in the next few decades? County officials would like suggestions from the public, by way of an internet survey being conducted through November 8th.
Sustainability is the main theme of the survey, but county planner Charlie Handy says that includes needs such as housing and transportation.
“Transportation has a lot to do with housing, and housing affordability,” says “If you have to travel a long ways in a car, it’s much more expensive than if you can take public transit, things like that.”
County leaders recently rated sustainability as their top concern for future planning needs. But a previous survey suggested affordable housing should be a bigger goal. Handy argues that housing and sustainability are inter-related.
