ESCANABA — Efforts to bring more housing options to Escanaba for the city’s aging population were highlighted during Escanaba’s regular city council meeting Thursday.
“Escanaba has a large population of Baby Boomers who are slowly approaching retirement age, this has increased the need for alternative housing as homeowners in this age group search for a smaller and easier to manage home,” said Council Member Karen Moore. “Condominiums are an excellent choice for this group. There are very few in this category in this city. In fact, when I was running for city council this was the most requested need.”
