State agency predicts declining growth rate for Adams County
Adams County plans for the future show a sharp slow down in growth over the next two decades. A Pennsylvania DER projection circulated to the Adams County Planning Commission forecasts county population rising only 3.4 percent from 1980 to 1990 and then declining in eight municipalities by 2000. County Planner John I. Callenbach voiced concern over the shifts, noting Gettysburg may see a 4 percent rise next decade while Berwick Township could fall after years of growth. DER seeks local comment before finalizing the draft forecast.
