I wanted to share something in the downtown newsletter: POLICOM Corporation has released its 2011 Economic Strength Rankings and of the 576 “Micropolitan” statistical areas (populations of less than 50,000) in the U.S., Durango was at the top. The rankings reflect the areas that have the best economic foundation. According to POLICOM, while many communities have slowed or declined during this recession, the strongest areas, like Durango, have been able to weather the storm. The POLICOM study measured 23 economic factors over 20 years to create the rankings. The full POLICOM report can be found on their website
Now let’s add more green jobs to the mix for long term diversity!
