CLT Session at NAHRO Conference

October 8, 2006

I was honored to share the podium with Sheri Harris from the Central Minnesota Communty Land Trust at the Fall Conference of the Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials at Breezy Point.  There were over a Northfield-Maple Hillsdozen attending the morning session as Sheri and I navigated through the powerpoint presentation and answered numerous questions.  I explainted the creation of teh CLT homes in Northfield and gave examples of our developments such as Maple Hills (Bunker Drive).  It appears that Land Trusts are gaining momentum in the providing long-term affordable housing.  Many of the participants queried both Sheri and I on the process to create a Land Trust.  It is exciting to see communties adpat the model to their particular needs.
