Winslow is investing in
infrastructure to increase jobs in the area one example of which is First
park. FirstPark is a business and technology center designed to promote
cooperation among local economies.This way towns work together to improve the area�s economy versus area
economies competing with each other for business.
Not only is Pattee Pond
important for its natural value, but it is also economically valuable and can
affect development in the area. According to Frank Stankevitz the Winslow
code enforcement officer, lake usage has more than doubled in the past 3
years.People who once visited
their camps infrequently are now spending more time on Pattee Pond due high
level of water quality.This
could be foreshadowing future development around and near the lake.
