Six months after its creation, the Grand Traverse County Joint Housing Task Force has finished its work.
The task force was formed last October to bring together county, township and Traverse City leaders on housing issues. It will hold its final meeting today.
County Planning Director John Sych says the task force was never supposed to last long-term.
“This was really just intended to … bring some of our elected leaders up to speed (and) identify some key actions that they can continue onwards, after the task force has concluded,” said Sych.
At its last meeting, the task force plans to finalize a report on its work over the last six months. The document calls on governments to work together to attract affordable housing developments to the area.
