I also want to move to a small quiet town but I am an active retiree who would like some amenities - access to biking and hiking trails, water for swimming, fishing, kayaking, maybe some pickleball courts .
Other than that, a good grocery store, hardware store, and medical facility and I'm set!

Hohenwald is a small town with a population of about 5000, and Lewis County has a population of about 13000, but the place just seems to get worse and worse as there are no jobs here and there is no entertain here either (no kidding, Walmart is the place to be).
I was just wondering if any of you have any examples or ideas of how a place can keep its small town charm but still have available and thriving jobs and entertainment. This town is dying as the young generations consistently move away and don't come back, and few people are looking to move to a place such as this. We need some help.
One thing small towns like Hohenwald lacks is a 4 lane highway connected to the Interstate. If you want a factory that employs more than 50 need a way to get trucks in & out. Need a truck stop to service the trucks. The little 2 lane blacktops may be quaint but is no place for 18 wheelers.
