Housing Projects
Collaboratively expanding the supply of workforce housing in Muscatine through tools such as 3D House Printing - being one of the first in the state to utilize this proven, innovative technology.
3D House Printing
Printing homes with 3D technology is slated to begin in Muscatine County in the first quarter of 2023 through a multi-faceted collective effort.
The housing stock is the largest single capital investment and collective community asset. There is currently a supply-side failure that is having cascading effects on the community. Currently 11,000 people drive into Muscatine County to work each day, including 25% of our district educators. Rural areas often attract fewer developers, so local partners have joined together to support this priority innovatively and collaboratively.
