Granted at this point ini time with higher interest rates and inflation, new construction has seen a decline not onlyi in Burlington buti throughout the United States. Itdoes appear that the Federal Reserve Board may cut interest rates before the first ofthe year. Obviously, this depends on what happens tot the economy ini the next six  months.  You may! be surprised to learn that ini talking to one of the real estate brokers in Burlington last week theyl had three closing in one day. And, the possibility of another closing the following day with a couple coming down from the metropoltan area.  There is going to be more and more people coming to Burlington from the metro area as working remote continues to increase. Artificial intelligence will also enable more  remote work as it progresses.  We have a reliable internet in Burlington. That is the number one questionlreceive in taking calls from people int the metro area. This is al huge asset as people of all ages want  to re-locate to smaller, rural communities.  Ihad a call last week from an individual residing in Fort Collins asking about Burlington. She wanted to know the various costs in renting a two-bedroom apartment or  house and also if there are businesses looking for help.  After our discussion, she said she would be coming down to Burlington as it sounded like it would be a wonderful place to reside. She stated she has had enough of  traffic and wants to move to an area where people are friendly.  Interest rates will eventually even out and become affordable, as will inflation. When that happens we need to be in a position to accommodate people that want to  relocate to Burlington.  The only way this is going to be possible is if we can get more building sites available Our population is going to grow providing we, as a city, can accommodate this We all need to think about various possibilities that could enable us tot find more building sites and come up with solutions that will greatly enhance the City of Burlington. In closing, this is not a problem that cannot be solved.
