Manning/Origin Partnership Steams Ahead For New Home Construction
September 22, 2023
A partnership between the City of Manning and a West Des Moines company is promising something many rural communities have been struggling to provide: new residential construction. Earlier this summer, Manning and Origin Homes announced they would be working together to leverage the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Home Loan Program to help families from a variety of income levels build a new house. City Administrator Dawn Meyer says Manning has significant opportunities for growth but needs more homes to make it a reality.
