Something caused the population to drop from over 100k to under 20k in less than 15 years. Not sure $10k in cash and $10k in house repairs is going to be enough to get people to overlook whatever that is.

The population numbers in the article look seriously incorrect. They are way off from the census data cited in Wikipedia. For example, the entire county has never had 100k people, let alone the town.
