This raises new questions. Another possibility is that new residents will come into the community to fill the new jobs. This way, existing businesses are not hurt and the new businesses get the employees that they need. This seems to be a win-win situation for the community. Yet, this too raises a new set of questions for the community.
Many communities have very low vacancy rates in their current housing stock.
This means that any new residents that move into the community are often building new houses. This is what is happening in many communities throughout Wisconsin. So, let's assume that this community that wants to take advantage of a parcel of land abutting the state highway to attract new businesses will be seeing new residential construction. This too, raises more questions for the community. If new housing is constructed, the community needs to carefully consider where the housing will go.
