TOL RESIDENT GOAL

EXPERTS SAY THE BOLD PLEDGE TO INCREASE THE GLASS CITY'S POPULATION BY 300,000 BY 2045 THAT TOLEDO MAYOR WADE KAPSZUKIEWICZ (CAPS – UH – CAVVAGE) MADE IN HIS STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS THIS WEEK DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON EXECUTION. 
NORTHWEST OHIO REALTORS SAY THE CITY HASN'T HIT THAT NUMBER SINCE THE 1970S, AND US CENSUS DATA SHOWS TOLEDO HAS LOST NEARLY 24,000 PEOPLE SINCE 2010, INCLUDING A 7000 PERSON DECREASE SINCE 2020. HOUSING LEADERS SAY AFFORDABLE HOME PRICES REMAIN A MAJOR ADVANTAGE, BUT A HOUSING SHORTAGE AND PROPERTY DISINVESTMENT COULD SLOW PROGRESS. THEY SAY THE CITY MUST EXPAND HOUSING, BOOST HOMEOWNERSHIP, AND ATTRACT RESPONSIBLE INVESTORS TO MAKE THAT GOAL A REALITY.
