[Vision2020] why is Moscow growing?

[Bill London]

The report is available at:
http://www.ci.moscow.id.us/SpecialTopics/MoscowGrowth.htm

the core answer, according to my reading, is the 2,000 WSU and Schweitzer employees that live in Latah County.
Which makes me wonder why Moscow is spending so much chasing the gods of Economic Development.
I can hear the moaning now from the LEDC etc who spend piles of taxpayer money chasing Growth.
What would happen if we just declared victory in the economic development wars and scrapped all our economic development effort?
