Gwinnett growth slows - good thing or bad?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You may have seen the story in the metro section of today’s paper about growth in these here parts. What surprised me were the numbers for Gwinnett. We apparently are experiencing a slower population growth when compared to recent years.
The county’s population in 2007 was 740,200; this year, based on estimates by the Atlanta Regional Commission, it is 752,800. That’s a paltry increase of 12,600 residents, or a 1.7 percent increase, according to the article. Usually, Gwinnett adds 20,544 new residents per year.
My question is this. Do you think the sluggishness is a good thing or bad thing? And all long do you think it will last?
