The Door County Economic Development Corporation has contracted with Place Dynamics of New Berlin to conduct a comprehensive Housing Study.
The study will provide a data-driven analysis of housing supply, demand, affordability, workforce needs, and development opportunities across the county.
The study will examine the needs of year-round workers, affordable housing, seasonal workforce housing, senior housing, and market-rate housing while considering the unique characteristics of Sturgeon Bay, Northern Door, and Southern Door.
Through research, stakeholder engagement, and market analysis, Place Dynamics will identify barriers to housing development and provide actionable recommendations for potential partnerships, programs, investments, and strategies.
The findings will help guide future decisions by municipalities, employers, developers, and community partners.
The completed Housing Study will serve as a roadmap to help address one of the county’s most pressing challenges—ensuring Door County has the housing options needed to support residents, attract talent, and sustain economic vitality for years to come.
