The city council hosted a meeting last week to seek input from the community on the Browerville Housing Study. They got input all right—all of it negative. According to the study, there is a need for rental housing in Browerville and the recommendation was for 8-12, one to three-bedroom units, which would rent for $400-$525 per month. Jack Dressen explained they would need a commitment from 8-10 people who would like to live in them to be in favor of the complex. When the audience was asked for their thoughts, nobody was in favor of the project.
