Door County's economic base could see an influx of high income, self-employed workers through broadband expansion.  The Door County Economic Development Corporation has received multiple inquiries from younger entrepreneurs who'd like to relocate to the area. Executive Director Steve Jenkins says many currently reside in the greater Chicago area.  He also says they bring economic benefits with lower impacts on public services.

Jenkins says state and federal efforts to improve nationwide broadband access are currently underway.  That process is expected to take several years.
