Manitowoc County is home to growing businesses and
low unemployment, but there's one statistic that's not
in the county's favor: population growth. According to
estimates, Manitowoc County will lose 2 percent of its
population by 2020 and 4 percent by 2040. Adding
to those negative numbers is residents' not-so-
rosy perception about the county's future.
To turn those numbers around,
local business and community
leaders came together in 2017 to
launch Vision 2022, a grassroots
plan focused on improving
centralization, collaboration
and community attitude.
Mary Maurer,
community director for
Vision 2022, talked with
Insight about the program's
goals and what has been
accomplished so far.
