Sounds good......too bad most of the graduates at WMU and other institutions are unable to find employment and end up leaving. Although while through my research I could not find data to support the articles claim of "the influx of people", while census.gov and city-data.com numbers show recent growth at -6.5%. It is a good deal for a more wealthy family to bring their kids into the area to reap the benefits of free education, however shrinking population only spreads the tax burden even thinner.....

Good post, thanks. Does anyone know what the status/ buzz of this project is?

(Downtown and Riverfront development)
City of Kalamazoo - Economic Development

Kalamazoo really needs to be progressive about reclaiming brownfields in the city for future development; to help halt sprawl.
