Since its incorporation in 1905, the <br /> <br />populatiori has grown to about 1,250 in 1977, with further growth <br /> <br />anticipated as a result of the development of several nearby <br /> <br />recreational areas, including Adams Rib and Beaver Creek ski areas. <br /> <br />- The 1977 population projections, based on low growth and high <br /> <br />growth conditions are as follows: <br /> <br />Low Growth = 1,533 <br /> <br />High Growth = 8,750 <br /> <br />Eagle is presently experiencing change from an agriculturally <br /> <br />oriented economy to a combination of agricultural and recreational <br /> <br />bases. The town is becoming a support community for employees of <br /> <br />recreational areas, with consequent demands on all of its municipal <br /> <br />services, including water supply facilities. Anticipated growth <br /> <br />is within the present service area of the town, upstream along <br /> <br />Brush Creek, which is currently used as Eagle's water source. <br />
