Last Call for Needles, California?

According to an Article in the Needles Desert Star, the Town is Analyzing the Possibility of Becoming Needles, AZ or Needles, NV

News about Needles, by the Needles Desert Star California is on-line, this is how many of us receive our news about the area. This is apparently a town presently in the State of California that has a lot of telecommuters, people who travel on-line to work in communities such as the Silicon Valley, or Silicon Alley, or Phoenix.

Needles was a thriving tourist rest area, watering hole, and Route 66 stop off; however, this is no longer the case. Apparently, some area locals are moving towards doing something to benefit the town of Needles, which is a border town in San Bernardino County, California - to both the states of Arizona and Nevada.

Enterprise zone study to move forward, by Marj Dario, Needles Desert Star is the source for this information, I am not making this up, people are now actually formally moving towards this possibility. If you doubt me, please, read the article, the link is right here on this page for you to use.

This amazing little proposal being done at the local, and possibly other levels of government, might not be so little. A committee in the works proposes to study what would be for the economic and sociological benefit of the town of Needles, California. The chairperson to this committee is Bob Rath, someone who I have not spoken to, yet, however, who is named in the article appearing in the Needles Desert Star.

The article refers to the community's economy as stagnating, which is a sly understatement, regarding Needles. Hotel lodging is still a bargain, and so are room rentals - telecommuters, isolated from the impact of the local retail environment, do not feel the effects of a lack of performance in that sector of the economy. Presently, the entire United States is undergoing variable changes due to massive changes in the infrastructure of the distribution of goods and services from the manufacturer or the farmer to the consumer; mainly called the Internet, or information highway. Evidently, Needles has not been benefiting overall from this. Needles is a lovely community.
