[QUOTE="Walleye202, post: 261776, member: 1554"] Did you ever go to think that maybe another reason DL boomed was due to the farm economy going on a once in a 30 year run from 2007-2013? Devils Lake is a central place of commerce for many smaller ag based towns, the entire area received a very large lift when the farm economy flourished. Also as a resident of Devils Lake, when the big construction boom was going on to finish off the permanent flood protection levies, this also spurred major economic impact. I would tend to argue the local multi year Ag boom did WAY more to spur economic development than the tourism industry did. Don't get me wrong, tourism is also a great boon for the community but this lake will never be stabilized, its a natural up and down lake. Unless a major man made project corrects it. [/QUOTE]
