There is also a <br />great amount of talk about a recession, which will drive housing down (hopefully) to allow more <br />affordable options for our families, hopefully drawing in more families to this area as a <br />permanent residence and not as vacation homes. <br />The rental market is highly competitive and out price middle income families and definitely <br />lower income families. It's a tough market to enter if you are not self-employed, or have a nest <br />egg. <br />Hope this helps. <br />Michelle Kuss-Cybula <br />Superintendent <br />Cle Eluni-Roslyn school District <br />(509)649-4850 <br />On Wed, Aug 14, 2019 at 3:49 PM Jerry Martens <itru.rustik(ci)gmail.com,> wrote: <br />Ms. Kuss-Cybula, Laura Vaughn provide me with your contact information. I am a <br />land use consultant in the upper county working with a number of clients with land. <br />Most of the information and background available to share with clients is historical <br />based which does little in providing information about our future. <br />As we look to the future, we need to guess as to what will be needed in the way of <br />services and housing. I have heard that enrollment within upper County schools has <br />been declining or hold a very flat line. Can you provide input? What is the 2019-20 <br />enrollment looking like as compared to the past 10 years. Any insight into the next 5 <br />years? <br />This information would be very valuable to my clients as will as the development <br />industry. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. <br />Jerry Martens <br />
