Michigan is projected to see a population decline of 2% by 2050 while the tri-county region of Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties is expected to grow. Although those growth numbers are coming out positive for the region, the bigger picture tells a more complex story. With an aging population and a workforce in decline, how the region moves forward will determine not just its economic future, but the quality of life for everyone who calls it home. We dug into the demographic trends shaping the area’s future as part of our work with LEAP , and just as importantly, we conducted four community conversations to hear directly from residents before making recommendations for future development.
