Leaders in Bazetta Township are looking toward the future regarding housing available in the community.

The Township Zoning Committee met on Monday to discuss housing density that would allow building more homes per acre in developments.

Zoning Chairwoman Deanna Longo says Bazetta is also looking to help new businesses in the area by potentially adding workplace housing.

“I know a lot of people don't like the term workforce housing but as you know there is a housing crisis in the state of Ohio and we have a lot of new businesses, big businesses coming to our area and were looking to help establish some workforce housing to help these companies out,” said Longo.

Longo says adding workplace housing could help new companies attract employees to the area.
