Population growth will continue with or without any new activity at the base. Its the same anywhere in the world. People are living longer and still reproducing at a healthy rate.JPC said:That is just an unrealistic scenerio. The big growth here in St. Mary's County is dependant on the Navy Base expantion, of that I am quite sure.
As Colin Powel once compared things, Cut off the head and the body will die.
Probably misspelled his name and did an inaccurate quote but the message I do know. And with that I mean that when I cut off the Navy Base growth then the body of inflation and overload infrastructure will end.

An increase of 1000 or so persons to support the new positions is still only about 1% total growth and that is only if the all locate to the county and it doesn't account for many positions that will be filled by people already living here.
