"can-do" and community unity manifested by both long-time residents and
newcomers;
Competitive with any similar size city In Metroplex on taxes, land costs, utility
rates, public services, etc.; further study needed to assess competitiveness with
rest of state and nation;
• Enough diversity of Industry in Metroplex resulting In varied opportunities in
Denton;
• Superlor quality of life to most communities, but danger of becoming "bedroom
community" because of desirability of living in Denton,
NEGATIVE FINDINGS:

• Undesirable economic climate in state coupled with unfavorable national
publicity about failures of traditional natural resource-based economy and
uncertainties of future tax strategies and public revenues, resulting in
problematic budgeting for Industries;
• Extremely competitive national environment for recruitment of new industry,
resulting In need for proactive approach;
• Local economy affected by state downturn with most obvious signs the budget
cutbacks at the. universities and restricted 1987 city budget based on forecast of
declining revenues, resulting In need for quick stabilization of community
