Mayor Jeanne Zeidler and Vice-Mayor Clyde Haulman will join us to discuss the issue of affordable housing and let the student body know what the Williamsburg City Council is doing about it.h
The average selling price of a home in Williamsburg/James City County is over $350,000. For the average area worker, living here is nearly impossible. We believe that people should be able to live in the places they work. With affordable housing options becoming more and more scarce, the city is heading down a road not only to complete homogeneity but also to a severe labor shortage. Commuting itself has costs, and low-wage workers are most affected. The city's lack of affordable housing presents both economic and social problems that must be addressed. We recognize that there are ways to make change for the better and are glad that Mayor Zeidler and Vice-Mayor Haulman are coming to discuss those possibilities with us.
