Story Behind the Curve
- Possible reasons for the improvement in 2016:
- Prosperity Center may have had an influence
- County put more investment in non-profits through county-funded grants outside of LMB: housing, community services and seniors.
- Unemployment rate is low
- Concerns:
- Income tax revenue is down; lost Bechtel and may have less jobs at Fort Detrich
