"The Greater North Dakota Chamber (GNDC) is encouraged by the Housing Initiative Advisory Committee’s essential discussion on addressing the state’s housing challenges. This issue profoundly impacts employers' ability to attract and retain the workforce needed for economic growth across North Dakota. As we move forward, GNDC is also eager to hear from Governor-elect Armstrong on how his administration will approach this pressing matter. Housing has been a significant barrier for North Dakota’s business community, with at least 43% of our membership indicating that these challenges hinder the ability to advance their operations.
