Economic Development
This Forum is to talk about how to Improve Raton's economy. Economic Development is a difficult topic to define. Some only relate it to how much money you make and gross receipts tax, others to growth and wealth, but it is much more than just money. The American Economic Association defines it as: "Economics can be defined in a few different ways. It’s the study of scarcity, the study of how people use resources and respond to incentives, or the study of decision-making. It often involves topics like wealth and finance, but it’s not all about money. Economics is a broad discipline that helps us understand historical trends, interpret today’s headlines, and make predictions about the coming years." To know more about economic development go to Wikipedia, the New Mexico Economic Development Department, and the U.S. Economic Development Department.
