Calls for government to relook at the target for 100,000 residents
The Isle of Man should ‘stop trying to fight reality’ on trying to increase the population to 100,000.
That’s from the Chamber of Commerce which says government needs to relook at the target which is a key strand of the current Economic Strategy.
In July 2022 plans were unveiled to grow the number of residents over the next 15 years.
But, giving evidence to the Economic Policy Review Committee this week, chamber president Kristan McDonald says it’s no longer realistic.
