I'm hearing a lot about encouraging some of the tidal wave of baby boomers to live their later years here.
The idea has merit, but why not instead focus on backing existing local businesses and young entrepreneurs? They could live here for a lifetime (their kids too).
You can generate economic growth in many ways but the key is to generate the right types of growth.
I was pleased this week to assist two local businesses who have come up with something innovative and exciting and are moving quickly to take a strong foothold in the market.
As with most of these types of endeavours, there will come a time when many will say: "Gee, I could have thought of that." Well, guess what - they thought of it first.
