Dear friends of Crawford County-

Please check out the latest issue of Community Development Connection below or view the pdf file with charts and graphics at http://crawford.uwex.edu/cnred/documents/O...ctionNewsletter.pdf For your convenience you will find newsletter text only below.

** This month I am formally introducing “Economic Snapshots” as a new feature of this newsletter. Avid readers of the Wisconsin State Journal will recognize these as regular articles produced by my colleagues at the Center for Community and Economic Development. I hope these Crawford County regional versions will help you better understand how our economy has changed and continues to change. The snapshots will cover everything from labor to housing to farming. If there’s a topic you are particularly interested in, if you’d like to see the data, or to reproduce these for a newspaper of community newsletter, please let me know! You'll find this month's snapshot attached separately as an image file. The snapshot archive may be found on my wesbite http://crawford.uwex.edu/cnred/index.html

This newsletter is intended to facilitate information sharing between elected officials, plan commissioners, community leaders, regional organizations, entrepreneurs and business owners in the Crawford County, Wisconsin area. You'll find local events and news related to community and comprehensive planning, economic development, land use, and local government. If this newsletter has been forwarded to you and you would like to receive it monthly by email or post please email me at laura.brown@ces.uwex.edu.

Please pass this on to others who might be interested. Items for the Dec-Jan newsletter are due by November 15th .

Thanks and best
Laura Brown, Crawford County Community Development Educator, 608-326-0223
