Local entrepreneurs launch Hamilton Housing, LLC

Many North Shore residents struggle to find a safe and secure place to live. There has been a lot of talk in Cook County about this housing shortage and there have been some efforts to construct housing.

The latest housing projects developed by the Cook County/Grand Marais Economic Development Authority (EDA) and One Roof Housing have been focused on market rate housing in Grand Marais and rental units in Lutsen.

Village North, a development by Bruce Block, on the former Gofer Cabins site, is addressing some of the affordable housing needs, but there is more to be done.

That’s where Anna and Sarah Hamilton come in. They have launched Hamilton Housing, LLC and are working to develop affordable housing options in Cook County.

WTIP’s Rhonda Silence talked to the duo about their efforts.
