As with many villages in rural areas, populations have been gradually decreasing as living off the land is no longer viable in modernized countries. In an effort to increase the influx of people again, Store-Standal is undertaking projects to modernize the local industries and create tourism. Here there is a new power station, wireless internet service, and development of an Alpine Center for new residents and tourists.
