Everybody thinks Michigan has the worst economy in the nation, but as luck would have it, (that may be a pun) Florida could be in  worse condition.  They told me that values were down nearly 50% and that homes that were selling for $300,000 could be had for $150,000 or less.

Number one, that tells me that things are not as bad here in Allen Park as we think and that our recovery may not be as long as we think.  Florida is primarily a vacation destination…think about it, if we can not afford to take vacations then they will not have our dollars to fund there economy.  As we restructure our economy, don’t forget, Hollywood is near to coming to Allen Park; our jobs will be working to improve the economy in Florida.   Warm and sunny days are on the horizon.
