Keeping up with the local news makes you an informed citizen that understands the happenings and activities of our town. Mostly its fun to watch (Its probably not for everyone!). I've seen some great city management and poor city management and Escanaba seems to be well managed. Unfortunately I was traveling and working on some projects so didn't get the time to watch prior. Budgets...who doesn't love budgets !😱 ok....a couple of thoughts.....
From a process standpoint it appears that if the amount of money needed is over a certain amount (I think they said $6K but I'm too lazy to go back to look.) above and beyond the budgeted amount it needs City Council approval.
Octoberfest was approved and the proceeds go to the United Way. Public Safety indicates they don't have any issues with the event so that is good to know (Just have a designated driver. 🚨👮🚓). It is a good cause and charities help people feel engaged in fun activities matched with contributing to something that is important. This is another example of using event management to attract interest. See Seasonal Visitors Escanaba/Gladstone.
Tourism is up 40% and just like Mrs. Moore stated people are coming to experience the outdoors. It is possible to capitalize on that trend. See Delta County Adventure-Venture Capitalism and Delta County as a Digital Nomads Land and Tourism to Enhance Esky
Of course we may want to consider attracting people to develop the downtown through DC Downtown Rejuvenation by adjusting Delta County (Escanaba and Gladstone's) public webpages and public relations/marketing approaches through the Availability of Financial and Non-Financial Info.
In the future, if we could also build other industries by attracting Great Lakes Distribution and Shipping matched with Start Up Firms Design and Small Batch Manufacturing we may be able to create DC Multi-Clusters that lead to resilience and sustainability in a shifting global economy to ensure local residents can find jobs and maximize opportunities. This is part of an exploration of a larger theory on Transactional Economic Innovative Clusters that explores the possibility of returning investment, manufacturing and intellectual capital back to the U.S.
(Sorry thought experimenting trying to close a loop on a theory. 🎓⚓📚🔭🔬🔍⏰💻)
