What does this mean for the Upper Peninsula?
As the work force decreases, economic growth, ratio of tax revenue to expenses and ultimately the quality of life all decrease. The U.P. becomes a less attractive place to live…which perpetuates population loss.
The situation will become more challenging as global forces of technology development and sustainability significantly impact the UP. If we act now, we can look at these forces as an opportunity rather than as a threat.
