Veridian at County Farm

The Ann Arbor Planning Commission will be hearing about a pair of housing developments at tonight’s meeting. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert has a preview.

Homelessness and housing insecurity continues to be a problem in Washtenaw County. One of the ongoing, contributing factors is an overall lack of affordable housing. WEMU's David Fair is joined by Heather Thiefels from Avalon Housing in Ann Arbor to discuss the progress being made on that front and the support efforts to address other root causes that land people on the streets.

A Washtenaw County development is to become one of the nation’s first mixed-income, net-zero-energy communities. We’ll look at Veridian at County Farm in Ann Arbor as it prepares to begin construction and has entered pre-sales of its first units. THRIVE Collaborative founder Matt Grocoff joined WEMU's David Fair to discuss how years of planning are now moving from concept to reality in what, he hopes, will serve as the model for all future housing developments.
