Economic study paints rosy picture of Carlsborg; $2 billion in services, goods over 4 years cited

A study sanctioned by Clallam County Economic Development Council and Carlsborg Business and Property Owners Association paints an economic picture of the unincorporated Carlsborg community that surprises some business owners there.

Don Butler, owner of High Energy
Metals with nine employees, and A-M Systems’ president Arthur Green, with 23 employees, are two of them.

The recently released 19-page profile concludes that Carlsborg’s 21-year-old urban growth area supports 1,050 jobs and in 2009 earned gross wages for those employees of about
$17 million.

Business sales from 2006 to 2010 generated nearly $2 billion in goods and services, the report states.
