8 Summary of Primary Sector Survey as it relates to Housing Written comments received within the survey. Availability of affordable housing is greatly needed. Perhaps if housing were more affordable and available it would entice people to move to the Yankton area thereby increasing the labor pool. I think moderate priced housing would help improve our employees quality of life. We have either high end or low end houses in the Yankton area with little housing in the middle that is affordable. $150,000-$200,000 type of housing pricing would be in the range of my employees. $150,000-$200,000 would be the high end of the price range. We have not heard affordable housing as an issue in attracting people. However, perhaps it would help improve the quality of life.
