About this episode

The episode discusses the new state budget and related legislation, along with updates on housing initiatives.

We begin with a summary of our new state budget, passed in the wee hours of July 3, as well as a discussion of some of the nearly 60 bills that were passed along with it (and what was vetoed). Plus, an update to what’s going on with MSHDA’s Statewide Housing Plan update, Opportunity Zones 2.0, and what to expect in the housing conversation with the passage of the 21st ROAD to Housing Act.
