Dear Jefferson Wisconsin skeptics, Your city's population has doubled since 1950, but it peaked in 2010

       
JEFFERSON WISCONSIN
Population:  Wikipedia, U.S. Census Bureau (2023)

Headline: Wisconsin State Journal, 6/20/2024


Small city NIMBY
From teachers to baristas to local business owners, few objected to foreign investment in principle. But most of the residents who spoke with the Wisconsin State Journal said they're yet to be persuaded the projects will be to the city's benefit. 
"I don't want want to live in a big city," MacPherson said. "I moved to a small town for a reason." 
But that's not a view shared by local officials, who say the community is generally excited about the influx of money and jobs hitting Jefferson even as questions arise over the town's ability to support such major developments.
