It is very difficult to predict what the future population <br />trend will be, particularly so since the area's population is tied to the minin9 <br />industry. It can be anticipated that the relative importance of mining will be <br />cyclic and there will be a time when the value of metals will influence the <br />reopening of old mines. While this may occur, it is our judgment that it would <br />be unwise to rely on future growth due to the mining industry to justify project <br />costs. For purposes of this report, the City of Victor has provided a conservative <br />projection of growth as shown on Table 2.2. Projected future increases are based <br />on the growth of Victor and surrounding area as a bedroom community of the <br />Colorado Springs vicinity. <br /> <br /> Table 2.2 <br /> Projected Population <br /> Population <br /> Incorporated Tota 1 <br />Year Victor Service Area Service Area <br />1985 267 100 367 <br />1995 275 103 378 <br />2006 288 108 396 <br />2016 317 119 436 <br />2025 380 143 523 <br /> 15 <br />
