Impact analysis
Property values and local business revenue will likely rise, but taxpayers could end up footing the bill for necessary road and infrastructure upgrades.
Local business owners, landowners cashing in on development, and job seekers score big wins from this economic boom.
Commuters and current residents are stuck dealing with worse traffic and a faster-paced, more crowded hometown.
