Washington Population

Last night in my presentation to the Annual Washington Chamber of Commerce's meeting and Supper, I remember saying and emphasizing the results of the 2000 Census.   Yes, this concerns me.   However, what really concerns me is the trend. 

Washington County Kansas has a long, well established downtrend in population.

What steps are we going to take to to reverse this trend?  I am very aware there are some that really don't care. 

On the left are the official population statistics from the Federal Government for Washington County Kansas.

Here is link for more stats for ALL counties in Kansas and the state of Kansas. Kansas Census

Change is inevitable . . . growth is optional.

Special Thanks goes to Bob's Locker of Washington for catering a very nice meal (I just love their BBQ sauce)
