In July 2023, a professional housing study was commissioned to help identify the housing needed in Zanesville and Muskingum County to grow and accompany the anticipated economic growth of our region.

The result was The Zanesville Housing Strategy; this is a working document with specific strategies for providing housing choices for residents already in Muskingum County as well as for prospective new employees. It will require a commitment to housing as an economic development tool, as important as providing industrial and commercial sites and incentives for prospective employers. More and more employers are focusing on markets willing to house their employees. An aggressive housing strategy will separate Muskingum County from competitive markets willing to accept an employer but unwilling to welcome new workforce residents.
