Reading through the West Linn Tidings I read an interesting editorial about the expected population growth in West Linn. The projections estimate for an additional million people to live in West Linn by 2030, which of course, are welcome news for us Real Estate folks. While that number seems high, it’s not really that surprising considering that a recent survey (350 West Linn residents) said West Linn is an excellent place to live.

Of course with that growth come concerns about how it will affect the area. 36 percent of survey respondents said that growth’s was the city’s biggest concern. Hence, Urban Growth Boundary, Rural Reserve, growth concepts, sustainable planning; all buzz words amongst West Linn residents these days.
