Building a Housing System for Kosciusko County.
KEDCO is bringing local partners together to understand what housing Kosciusko County's communities need, what the market can support, and what stands in the way of production. In every corner of the county, from Mentone to Claypool to Pierceton, we're turning local housing intelligence into practical action.
Three communities. Different housing opportunities.
Each community presents a distinct opportunity to understand local housing demand, evaluate what the market can support, and identify the conditions needed to move from potential to production.

Understanding what it takes to build.
Even within a single county, each community has different housing needs, market conditions, and development constraints. KEDCO is evaluating five critical questions to understand which opportunities can become viable housing production.
Housing Demand
Who needs housing, what can households afford, and which market segments are underserved?
Product Fit
Which housing types, sizes, and price points align with local demand?
Infrastructure
What utilities, roads, and site conditions affect development readiness?
Financial Feasibility
Can housing be delivered at prices the market can support?
Implementation Readiness
What partnerships, approvals, and investments are needed to move forward?
Kosciusko needs more than one kind of partner.
KEDCO is connecting communities, builders, employers, lenders, and households to turn housing opportunities into production. Each brings something different to the table—and each has a role in making attainable housing possible.
