Naples is growing
Posted on April 19th, 2007 by Rick Bethem
In a recent article in the Naples Daily News, the U.S. Census bureau has ranked Naples as the 7th fastest growing metro area in the nation based on percentage of growth. The county grew by 25 percent from 2000 to 2006.
The actual population figures released showed a growth from 251,000 to a total of 326,000 during those same years.
This growth, while expected, puts forth many challenges for the local politicians and planners.
