Growth Strategy Will Handle Population Jump

The population of the Port City will be growing greatly over the next 25 years and Deputy Commissioner of Planning and Development Jacqueline Hamilton says the city's newly endorsed growth strategy will meet those needs.

She tells CHSJ News a lot of the growth will begin in the next 5 years as baby boomers start to retire.

She says the areas targeted for growth will be able to handle twice the amount of projected growth.
