Centerville is a Midwestern town of about 25,000 people, about 50 miles from a large metropolitan area. Its government consists of a mayor and a town council. In recent years, Centerville
has come upon hard times. Its population is dwindling, with many of its young people moving
to the city where the job market is good. When a large shopping mall is built about five miles
outside of town, local shops and businesses in downtown Centerville cannot compete and start
to close.
Investigation 1
As businesses close and people move away,
property values of commercial buildings and of
homes have declined. Many of the buildings in
Centerville are being abandoned.
1. How will this situation affect the tax base of
Centerville?
2. What effects is the situation likely to have on the
operating budget of Centerville?
Investigation 2
The Centerville mayor calls a special meeting of the town council to come up with ways to
raise more revenue.
1. What are some options the town council might
explore for increasing revenue?
2. Which options might they reject for fear of driving more people out of town or forcing more
businesses to close?
Investigation 3
The mayor and town council decide that the
long-term answer to Centerville’s problems is to
attract new businesses to the town. To jump-start
the process, the town council uses some capital
funds remaining from a renovation of police headquarters to buy an abandoned warehouse from a
business that has moved to the city. By selling
municipal bonds, the council hopes to fund a renovation of the warehouse into a town center and
indoor mall with space for town offices and leasing
space for several small businesses.
1. (a) If revenue is already a problem, how can
the town spend money to buy a warehouse?
(b) How would the proposed indoor mall help
attract small businesses?
2. How would new businesses help Centerville’s
revenue problem?
3. What are some tax incentives the mayor and
town council could use to attract new businesses
to Centerville?

Morei would really appreciate it. his eyes snapped open. a musty smell flooded his senses. the room was lowly lit, curved with smooth light gray walls. the floor was clear black tiled. he stood up, surprised to see no door, but only a trap door on the ceiling that blended in with the walls. the room was unfurnished, which struck him as strange. as you write and revise, ask yourself these questions: 1. do all of the sentences in this paragraph belong here? (unity) 2. are all of the sentences in this paragraph in the right place? (coherence-- a method of development) 3. are all of the sentences in this paragraph smoothly connected together into a whole paragraph? (coherence--use of transitional devices) once you've made certain that your paragraphs are both unified and coherent, edit your work for problems in grammar and mechanics before submitting it to your teacher.
