Michelle Sponheimer, Marshalltown Housing and Community Development Director joined KFJB earlier this week to tell us what makes housing such a difficult issue to tackle. Michelle explains what she does in her role to promote housing development.
Michelle and her team need to think of all different situations for people, from young to old, and whether they are looking to buy or rent
The city relies on private developers to come in and partner to make developments happen in Marshalltown, a good example would be the Creekside Estates development on South 6th Street.
It takes 2 to tango, a private developer and the city to add the right housing for Marshalltown.
