The Becker Area Chamber of Commerce had a great turnout for the February 17 member meeting last week.  With over 30 members in attendance, the meeting was held at Becker Pebble Creek.  

The business highlight for the month was Keller Williams Realty. Troy and Amity Felton presented information about the real estate market in the Becker area, and what to expect with the market in 2021. They, along with Haller Realty agents agreed that there is a major shortage of homes available for sale in the area, and homes continue to be in demand. Interest rates are still low, which helps balance the cost of homes.  

Marie Pflipsen from the City of Becker spoke about development plans for the city, and Jeremy Schmidt from Becker Schools talked about the plans to have all students return to in-person learning. He also spoke on the long-range plans for the district with the capacity needs of facilities to meet student needs, and the importance of supporting the schools through the upcoming referendum - which has a $0 net tax increase to district residents.
