Mayor Gayle Kaler told The Paducah Sun that many people who work in Paducah don't live in the city. But Kaler is still concerned about trying to attract more young people to the city as the population grows older. Last year she formed a focus group to discuss the problem.
Kaler said bringing in technology-based businesses could help attract more workers in the 23-40 age group. The focus group will make a presentation with its recommendations to the city commission in June.
The latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates were released this week. They revised earlier estimates to show that Paducah's population likely fell below 25,000 in 2013.
