My interview with John Larsen has been ringing in my head for the past day. There was one comment that he made that didn’t make it into my early morning blog that is too important to not post.
“The wealthy out-of-towners own probably 65% of the land here. Someone in a $1 million home will only come up here 2 or 3 times per year. They will have less of an impact upon this town than someone who is living in a $30,000 double-wide. Those people spend ALL of their money in the community. We wanted to come up with something to hopefully inspire these wealthy people and get them to invest back into the growth of the community. We need to engage them.”
Larsen’s "Bring Back the Kids Campaign" has the potential to inspire several of those second homers. Stay tuned.
