Question

with the loss of 3 major shops leaving, I am trying to find the impact it is haveing on our economy in Jackson County only

Answer 1

The county likely has an office for economic development somewhere in the county. Perhaps go to the closest municipal building and see if they can point you in the right direction. That office should have the information you are looking for. If they don't, then it may not have been collected yet, or they will put you in contact with whomever you need to see.
