A couple of notes/thoughts:
One of the things I have been thinking about is about how attracting entrepreneurs to downtowns such as Escanaba can make a difference in long-term success. The downtown and area has attracted alot of attention in recent years. Escanaba is now known as a hot spot. Next to Escanaba is Gladstone as a sister town. It is actually just across the bay and people know each other. Rival highschool sports teams. Gladstone has a very nice little downtown that can be a model for other small entities. This can be especially true for serial entrepreneurs who may succeed or fail but ultimately keep going improving their environment. Attracting a number of them to the downtown and you might find different businesses starting and the downtown growing. Encouraging new business ownership relies in part on the existing businesses, grants, costs, permits/regulations, low-interest loans, and a number of other things.
