The reduction in construction workers from the <br /> <br />Dolores Project will more than offset any slight increase from the Salinity <br /> <br />Control prograu. Increased housing needs, therefore, should not be a problem and <br /> <br />relocation of people is not anticipated. <br /> <br />Long term population projections for the county are estimated to be <br /> <br />about one percent per year and growth likely will be from historical growth <br /> <br />trends, impacts of program development, expansion of the agriculture and tourist <br /> <br />industries, the desirability of the area for retirement, and the continued <br /> <br />development of nearby energy resources. <br /> <br />III-IS <br /> <br />r ",48::'1 <br />I'"~ v <br />I.,. .to <br />
