The Community & Economic Development Department at Foothills Regional Commission is conducting a housing study for Polk county to determine the housing needs and inform future planning efforts in the county. This study is being sponsored by Dogwood Health Trust. Producing the plan is a collaborative effort between the Foothills’ team, community stakeholders, and the general public. A link to a community survey, as well links to drafts of the the plan, will be available at this page in the future. For more information, contact Alan Toney II, [email protected], 828-351-2331.
