(Wayne County, IN)--Wayne County’s Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday shared updated numbers regarding Richmond’s need for new housing.  According to the study by a housing economist, Wayne County has a demand for 2250 new housing units through the end of 2028.  Part of the effort of local leaders is to give commuters a closer place to live to their employer.  The study shows more than 12,000 people live outside of Wayne County but commute here every day to work.  And, existing homes are aging.  Half of Wayne County’s 30,000 homes are at least 65 years old.
