In attending a meeting on the Knute Nelson Grand Arbor project here in Alexandria, I was provided with these numbers that I thought you may find interesting.

AGE 55 AND OVER:
In 2005, there were 10,220 citizens here
Estimated 2030, there will be 17,410 citizens here. A 70% increase

AGE 65 AND OVER:
In 2005, there were 6,210 citizens here
Estimated 2030, there will be 12,420 citizens here. A 100% increase.

No wonder they are spending $26,000,00+ for the First Phase to build that complex.

Think about the new economy and what the world will look like. It’s fun to look at the future, being an optimist is much healthier to the soul than the opposite.
