Dave Murray introduced Brian Harger, Research Associate in the Center for Governmental Studies at NIU. Brian presented information on declining populations in rural IL,, and included specific data about Whiteside County. His study illustrated how rural population as a whole is declining specifically, the under 20 population which will impact schools, and the working age population is projected to decline, however, the over 55 population is expected to increase.
