Planning Body Foresees Housing Shortfall
Montgomery and Fairfax counties will have to rethink land-use policies to provide housing for tens of thousands of workers projected to fill new jobs in the area over the next 25 years, according to a new report.
In its latest round of regional growth forecasts, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments said that while the area's economy will generate about 1.6 million new jobs by 2030, current building patterns would leave a shortage of about 92,000 homes.
