Destination Development in 2024
The Chamber is proud to share our support for programs aimed at strengthening Leavenworth’s workforce housing and workforce development. This support for workforce housing translated into the Chamber Board of Directors voting unanimously at their February 15th Strategic Planning Meeting to support Upper Valley MEND’S Solid Foundations affordable housing rental program with a $50,000 donation.
The Campaign will allow MEND to purchase and manage 31 rentals across Leavenworth as affordable housing for the local workforce. It also lays the groundwork for additional units to be built or purchased in the future, ensuring that local businesses can recruit and retain good employees.
So many businesses, community members and elected officials came together to fully fund this project so kudos to Upper Valley MEND for creating this project to rally around!
