Economy is awful already and (GM) downsizing will make it worse.
Besides the auto industry - health care, and education. There are several colleges and universities in Flint.
Population hasn't declined in the
metro area, outlying communities (Grand Blanc, Davison) are growing fast. Flint is stagnant despite low real estate prices, probably because of fear of crime, poor school, and shoddy city services.
Gander Mountain seems pretty busy, but has to compete with Cabelas 50 miles away, for the serious sportsmen & women.
