Overview of Atchison through eyes of college student.

Project Atchison Basic overview of Atchison through eyes of a college student.. The city of Atchison has a very unique structure. Atchison has a small population where everybody knows everybody. Atchison has a rich history and possesses many historical buildings and houses. Atchison is conveniently located near the KCI airport. Many of the Atchison residents have a strong bond with the town and community. Atchison has large amounts of land and residential areas but has a limited number of industrial and commercial areas. Benedictine College is a major asset to the Atchison community. However, many of the college graduates find jobs elsewhere. Another weakness of Atchison is the amount of hotels available. Atchison is unable to host any major events because they do not have enough hotel rooms for their visitors. Overall economically Atchison is doing fine but some areas of Atchison would make visitors think otherwise Atchison has some big employers located within its community such as MGP, Bradken, Benedictine College, Wells Fargo and the Atchison hospital. One problem for Atchison faces is the lack of major attraction to lure visitors. Atchison also needs more entrepreneurial efforts from its citizens. Atchison need more creativity!
