Abstract
The volume 1 is a qualitative analysis of factors which both affect and influence the Muscle Shoals Planning Area (Colbert and Lauderdale Counties). An examination of changing population characteristics shows that while overall population growth rates for both counties exceed the State rate of growth, a serious problem exists in the loss, through out-migration, of young productive workers in the age group 20-34. The region has experienced significant growth in family income, and median family income in both counties exceeds the State average, however, the region is still nearly $300 below the National median. Sizable growth in the economy, and the population served by the economy, is expected during the planning period. (Author)
