Ottawa- Most people believe Ottawa and Franklin County is a nice place to live….or surely they wouldn’t stay, right? The last statement is causing some people some heartburn….Jim Potter is a consultant AND he did a residential housing study in Franklin County. He says neighboring counties are doing better.
He says that their is an outward migration toward Johnson and Douglas counties that has lead to negative growth in the area
Other officials say if the next census confirms a decline in population, it would be the first time since 1890 that Franklin County will have shown a loss of population.
