Mercer County Housing Profile
,
The 2009 Mercer County Housing Profile has been loaded to the second page of the Photo Gallery. While you might not want to read all of it, there is some very interesting infomation in it. Such as:
    Lack of senior housing to meet expected demand in the next five years.
    Lack of affordable housing for low to moderate income (starter homes – multi-unit rentals).
    Adoption of property ordnance and education for homeowners.
    Possibility for executive style housing in Sherrard, New Windsor, Viola, and New Boston.
For those of you looking to fill a need, here is some gooding reading for a beginning.
