 Project Personnel

Steven Griesert and Scott Knudson will be the individuals conducting all of the work on this project including all data collection, data analysis, interviews, etc. Steven Griesert and Scott Knudson have a combined 50 years of experiences in housing and have conducted over 100 housing studies over the past 12 years. Steven Griesert and Scott Knudson are two for the few individuals in the housing study and research industry who have been housing practitioners and still are practitioners. Our firms does not only conduct housing studies. We also assist communities with housing and community development projects and programs. We consider this background a strength. Our experience and expertise can probably be beset described by the fact that when East Grand Forks experience a devastating flood and was faced with a major rebuilding effort including acquisitions, demolitions, new rental housing, new single family homes, commercial development, etc.; the Minnesota Disaster Task Force first contacted Steven Griesert and Scott Knudson to assist with the rebuilding process.
