Community Housing Forum

Thank you to all who attended the White Bear Lake Community Housing Forum, Part 1.   A recording of the forum will be posted to www.whitebearlake.org/housing in the coming days.

Community Housing Forum – Part 1: Panel Discussion

Housing is a critical need for any community – preserving what we have and creating new opportunities.  In Part 1 of the Community Housing Forum, White Bear Lake Housing Task Force, city officials and community members heard from a panel of housing experts and peer cities to learn more about housing priorities and policy options for the City of White Bear Lake. 

The panel shared their expertise on the challenges and opportunities facing our housing markets today and responded to community questions.

The panel included:

Stacie Kvilvang, Senior Municipal Advisor, Ehlers, Inc. 
Jeanne Kelsey, Housing & Economic Development Program Manager, City of Roseville
Stephanie Hawkinson, Affordable Housing Development Manager, City of Edina
Andrew Dresdner, Architect, Cuningham Group
John Belisle, Belisle Development LLC 
Sarah Harris, Executive Vice President, Strategy, Partnerships & Production, Aeon 

Save the date for Part 2 of the community forum on September 9, 2021 where we will share more about the progress of the task force and get feedback from community members on their work.
