Develop a brief summary of the changes in your home town economy and provide examples of
these changes using a variety of different mediums. You may create a video, write an essay or
journal, create a multimedia presentation, or a combination of each.
All projects should include the following:
1. An interview with a local citizen about how the crisis has impacted their life.
2. A summary of businesses that have closed in the area over the last three years, including
how many of these were locally owned versus corporate owned.
3. A summary of the number of jobs and homes lost in the area over the last three years.
4. Other examples of economic decline (i.e.- housing projects or other construction left
unfinished, closed banks and other loan companies).
5. Examples of initiatives and programs in the local economy to help facilitate economic
development.
