Such as, is getting younger the only way to grow a population or economic base? I suppose in the end it probably is. But what if you can continually attract a thriving group of creative and innovative pre-retirees... you know, 43 year olds. Haha. Wouldn't that accomplish the same thing? In either case, broadband is a necessity. I'd love to see a map of broadband coverage in the park, just to get a feel for how poor the penetration really is.

I never realized the median age, but 43 does sound about right. I find that very interesting! I guess you could say I’m one of the old Geezers here in the Adirondacks.
