A closer look into Cortes Island's economy

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - When the Cortes Island Foundation released Cortes Island’s Vital Signs Report last month, Executive Director Manda Aufochs Gillespie said she’d like to go into specific sections in more detail.  "One of the things that really stood out to me is the information around income and work and economy.  This area starts around page 13 in this document and I'm going to be using a lot of words to talk about this, but when you look at the report there's graphs, little quotes and etc. that make it easier to read.” She suggested inviting Kate Maddigan, from the Cortes Community Economic Development Association (CCEDA), to get another perspective.
