Grand Marais city councilors recently went through the process of listing the things important to the citizens of Grand Marais. Rising to the top of priorities for the council was the need for housing.

Councilors noted several studies completed in the past defining this need and councilors agreed to try to identify the barriers to housing development in the city. To do that, the city has hired the firm HKGi at a contract price of $14,550.

To learn more about HKGi’s work, WTIP’s Rhonda Silence reached out to Jeff Miller of HKGi.
