The Clinton County Regional Planning Commission, with the City of Wilmington as a commission member, has turned attention to the issue of "brain drain" as one of its five focus areas of community and economic development since 2008.
The RPC sees retaining and attracting young professionals as a high priority goal for both the City of Wilmington and Clinton County. This goal has serious economic development implications as employers seek a diversity of work skills and educational levels, and communities need diversity and longevity in the local tax base. For information on broader efforts on behalf of the CCRPC, please email staff@clintoncountyrpc.org or by calling (937) 382-3852. |
