MODEST MOVING econ70.com 70 words on the economy daily

Just 9.8% of Americans changed their residence between 2018 and 2019, the lowest percentage since such record keeping began in 1947/48! This new low is occurring amidst the weakest population growth on record, limited immigration and an aging society. Most troubling, however, just 20% of those between the ages of 18-34 (Millennials) moved this year, down from 29% as recently as 2005/06. Reduced mobility reduces economic opportunities and GDP growth.

Invite all to the Tour which encompasses two weekends, February 28th, 29th, March 1st and March 6th, 7th and 8th. The Tour has an interactive website at cmbatour.com for information.

CMBA Bus to Builders Day at The Capitol, Wednesday, March 11th

We are just weeks away from the 2020 Minnesota Legislative Session which begins February 11th. Legislative leaders have just released their committee deadlines, indicating a fast-moving session intended to get legislators out on the campaign trail as soon as possible: March 13th – First committee deadline (a bill must have had a committee hearing in either the House or the Senate) March 20th – Second committee deadline (a bill must have had committee hearings in both the House and the Senate) April 3rd – Third committee deadline (a bill containing spending must have been heard and passed through finance committees) CMBAonline.org

Bills that do not meet these deadlines are considered “dead” for this session, although they can be amended onto or incorporated into other bills as the session progresses. The exception to these deadlines is the Capital Expenditure (Bonding) Bill which is the focus of the 2020 session.

CMBA has reserved a comfortable coach bus to the State Capitol leaving St. Cloud about 8:30 the morning of Wednesday, March 11th, from the Holiday Inn at 2nd Street and Highway 15.

We welcome all CMBA members who can join us for this important opportunity to meet with legislators at the Capitol and underscore CMBA 2020 Session Preview with Local issues important to developers and builders. CMBA has reserved meeting Legislators Held Monday, January 20th Nearly every state legislator representing the Greater St. Cloud area joined members of the CMBA Board and Government Affairs Committee at CMBA offices Monday, January 20th, to preview issues in the 2020 Minnesota Legislative Session and listen to input and concerns from CMBA on issues impacting local developers and builders.

members, CentraCare, the United Way and the City of St. Cloud, met for its second meeting January 8th to discuss average take home pay and housing affordability statistics for our area, and the potential for building single family homes that can fit the needs and incomes of households making approximately $50,000 per year (workforce housing). Ted Schmid and Jack Brandes of Lumber One presented designs of homes that could be built for a price point that, with help from the City of St. Cloud waiving development and building fees, and down-payment support from employers, would provide affordable workforce houses. Schmid noted the potential for building and making available as many as 40 of these homes in 2020. CMBA builders and remodelers are also involved in discussions about how to meet the local need for more affordable housing at lower income levels.

The CMBA Remodelers Council will learn more about and discuss these efforts at their March 5th meeting.
