"Washington County, Maine is a county of contradictions
and uniqueness," writes Robert Roper, an Associate
Professor of Business Management at the University College of
Bangor. In his report, Roper takes a close look at the
demographic and economic data of a Downeast Maine county,
studying the dynamics of population and change. The report,
commissioned by The Ellsworth American, also contains a detailed
analysis of Washington County's economy at the sector and
sub-sector levels over the 1970-1996 time period. Finally, Roper
offers a review of economic base theory, its relevance to
economic development, and current initiatives to stimulate
Washington County's economy.
