The Town of Weserville

This past week we started working on Weserville. A small area withing a country in Pennsylvania, with approximately 1,705 people with an unemployment rate of 13.2%. Weserville is far away from stores, gas stations, and hospitals. The nearest store was about one hour away and the nearest hospital was about two hours away. My economy class represents 22 people from Weserville and we created families and had town elections. We split up into groups and were given a $10 million budget to build one thing on a piece of unused land, and we debated on which would benefit Weserville more.
