Goals and Policies: City of Blaine, April 20, 1977. Phase III of Comprehensive Plan Updating Process

摘要

After decades of stable or even declining population (2,289 in 1910; 1,735 in 1960; and 1,955 in 1970) the Blaine area is now growing at the rate of 2.5 per cent per year. Recent City utilities plans have predicted a doubling of Blaine's population for the remainder of the sewage utility planning area. Faster growth is occurring on either side of Blaine. At the first goals meeting members of the committee discussed the broad subject of growth in Blaine and in the surrounding area. Growth was seen as inevitable and if properly channeled, a benefit of Blaine.
