On Point with Jon Maynard - Surviving a Economic Earthquake

A declining population signals economic weakness, as outmigration often indicates a lack of opportunities. The fact that both Parish and city areas are shrinking suggests broad economic stagnation. If young professionals and working-age residents continue to leave, the remaining population will be older, limiting workforce participation and consumer spending.

All stakeholders in Natchitoches Parish MUST come together and solve this event with one voice.
