Industrial Impact of 100 New Families in a City
The American Society of Planning Officials estimates 100 new families in a medium city require four extra school classrooms and teachers, four acres of land, and raise about 30 000 dollars annually for a larger school budget. Additional public payroll adds 15 000 dollars yearly. Hospitals, libraries, parks, and an extra jail cell may follow. Conversely, 150 industrial workers can generate 2 million dollars in annual business, 12 new stores and offices, and boost taxable valuations by over 2 million dollars. The figures argue for further industrial development to offset servicing costs and boost revenues.
