After the closure of the Navajo Generating Station in December 2019, Page, Arizona faced economic challenges, losing jobs and experiencing population decline. Contrary to predictions of doom, the town has revived economically due to its proximity to natural attractions like Glen Canyon and Lake Powell. New businesses have sprung up, sales tax contributions remain stable, and median home prices have risen significantly. The growth in tourism is significant, as millions visit the area, spending substantial amounts that invigorate the local economy.
Page has managed to leverage its natural amenities to buoy its economy, even when the old extractive industries dried up and scurried away.
Despite initial fears of economic doom after the Navajo Generating Station closed, Page has thrived through new development and increased tourism.
