Our key question—How can we grow the Local economy? • Retain and grow existing businesses—How? • Improve local linkages—encourage more local buying to reduce income leakage. • Encourage creation of new businesses through entrepreneurship—more exports, less income leakage from buying imports. • Increase commuting—to where? • Capture more unearned dollars—Can we attract retirees? • Attract outside investment—Can we get someone to build a new factory, regional hospital, state facility, etc.?

What does all this mean for M & M? • Impact of rural location not near urban centers? • Is your goal growth or prosperity and is there a difference? • What strategies are most likely to be successful? • Resource constraints? • What needs “fixing”? • What are our key assets?
Remember our key question—How can we grow the M & M economy? • Retain and grow existing businesses—How? • Improve local linkages—encourage more local buying to reduce income leakage. • Encourage creation of new businesses through entrepreneurship—more exports, less income leakage from buying imports. • Increase commuting—Where? • Capture more unearned dollars—Can we attract retirees, especially military retirees? • Attract outside investment—Can we get someone to build a new factory, regional hospital, state facility, etc. in town or nearby? • Prosperity without growth?
