This council meeting wasn't as exciting as the past. There were talk about Delta County and new flowers. There was also talk of 360 performance appraisals. When done well they encourage a rounder view and force managers to think of the need from different department perspectives. They are also time consuming and not all of the information is going to be particularly useful. Full Bloom Delta. You can read the Escanaba May 19th, 2022 Agenda.
Why am I watching? Because I want to see if a UP location ready ripe for investment can transform itself by encouraging new interest and investment. Of course I also have my own economic theory. Covid has change some of the investment interests around the world and with the right exposure and model (matched with govt interest in returning manufacturing and industry) it may be possible to develop new life into old resource towns like this.
There have been some new investments into Verso, local mines, military to the north, Navy in town, hotel at jail site, House of Ludington, etc... Is there a tipping point where those who jump into invest are going to obtain more advantages than those who don't? Organic development with a nudge and guidance. Maybe or maybe not...it just fun to do! A few silly ideas.....Rebuilding Downtown, Digital Tourism, SME, Micro Manufacture, Multi Cluster, Start up Firms, Stakeholder Analysis, Delta Shipping, Financial Info, Subfactors, Investor Hedge, Venture Cap, Hotel Marina.
