La Crosse County Board chair Tryggestad on DEI, strategic plans, $19.5 million Hillview revamp and homeless update
Covered a lot with La Crosse County Board chair Tina Tryggestad last week on La Crosse Talk PM, including passing both a DEI and strategic plan, accepting bids on the Hillview Healthcare Center plus an update on the Pathways Home initiative.

Got into the board recently passing a consultant’s year-long Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plan (6:10) that was pushed back a month, and morphed that conversation (14:15) into the five-year strategic plan.
In the second half of the show (18:50) we discussed the city-county Pathways Home project to endhomelessness, including its recent successes, the dilemma with the city banning overnight camping and where the plan is at now.
Ended the show (22:50) discussing the Hillview Healthcare Center, after the board accepted bids for the multi-faceted facility that will include an intergenerational care center, bridge housing, crisis beds and more.

La Crescent Mn. is now considering a “No Overnight Camping” on city property ordinance, written just like La Crosse’s. Rochester also has one now. Only the enablers are resisting. It keeps them employed.
