By
rebuilding our population to what it was 100 years ago, a 30% increase, and being shrewd in how
we do that, we can nearly double our economy in the next 20 years.
Why
does this matter? You will see the
effects right away. Making improvements like buying local first will create a
thriving small businesses backdrop that will attract a variety of new shops.
Thriving shops are what it takes to build our downtowns. Attractive downtowns create a greater sense
of belonging for citizens. Retaining
local talent creates a thriving community.
That thriving community, in turn, attracts new talent. This
allows local industries to flourish which expands our economy, and thus,
creates a better place to live. And the
cycle continues. There would be promoted job opportunities for you, and yours.
This boost in earnings would make possible a new model for middle-class prosperity. Local entrepreneurs will flourish which
provides jobs and expands the tapestry for a more connected community. The capacity for giving and supporting our
volunteer organizations will rise dramatically.
Our municipal budgets will be funded with enough to protect us and
adequately maintain what we have. We will build a new model for our community
without growing beyond the infrastructure we already have. We will do it in a way that will enrich our
relationships and enhance our lives. This will yield a kinder, more manageable
lifestyle where joy is within reach.
My
Marinette Menominee’s mission is to create a vibrant community attractive
enough to rebuild our population and do it in a way that creates a quality economy. It is about a brighter future for our family,
friends & neighbors. We want to be proud to see the growing promise of a
brighter future for our children & grandchildren.
Now
if I am wrong, wouldn’t you prefer to fall short on the upside here? Do you choose to strive to double our economy,
or to live with the chronic pain of continued significant shortfalls?
If
this seems a little complex, all you need to remember, is you have the power to
make this happen by choosing to Buy
Local First
