On Thursday, Oct. 10, Hastings Economic Development and Redevelopment Authority (HEDRA) approved the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) to administer the funds Hastings received for Local Affordable Housing Aid. These funds, which stem from the new sales tax from the 2023 Housing Finance and Policy Omnibus bill, will be used by the CDA for two projects: the Home Improvement Loan Program, and the Radon Mitigation Grant Program.
