When we started the series on the demographic statistics that define Warren, we made the following statement:

“…finding a way to restore growth to Warren is not just our biggest problem, we must treat it as our only problem. We must find a path to growth if Warren is to have a future any of us would wish for. And there isn’t much time because, contrary to what many people believe, the pace of decline in Warren is actually increasing.”

My question to you is: “Has the case been convincingly made?”

If you want to review the charts you can click the tab “Economic Development” at the top of the Warren Expressed home page. Each of the eight articles in the series is listed there, including this one.

I’m very interested to know what you think. Your opinions will help shape future actions. Do you think the problem of the city shrinking is as important as I do, and if not, why not?

Perhaps most importantly, what do you think we should do about the situation?

Unfortunately we can’t take comments here due to technical reasons. Please either comment on the Warren Expressed Facebook page, or send your opinions to me at info@warrenexpressed.org and I will publish them in a future blog post. Let me know if you want me to use, or withhold, your name.

We are going to need the input of everyone in the community if we are ever going to solve our problems. Don’t hold back.
