[Vision2020] 400 Verizon Employees vs. Area Growth

[Carl Westberg]

"Does anyone (CARL) have an answer to these questions?"  Gulp.  Regarding 
Verizon, and the 400 employees question, I think, but am far from sure, 
(anyone else know?) that there was a building off the corner of 6th and 
something (Polk or near Polk) that a certain percentage worked, perhaps the 
majority, but what do I know?   Well, I know that you can remove corns by 
making a poultice of one crumbled
piece of bread soaked in one-quarter cup Vinegar.
Let poultice sit for one-half hour, then apply to
the corn and tape in place overnight. If corn does
not peel off by morning, reapply the poultice for
several consecutive nights.  You're welcome.

>400+ employees.  Well that leads me to a few other questions.

>First, when did Verizon quit housing employees in the current location of 
>NSA?
>
>Second, what has Moscow's growth looked like in the last 10-20 years?
>
>Third, what has Latah County's growth looked like over the last 10-20 
>years?
>
>Fourth, what has UI's enrollment done in the last 10-20 years.
>
>Fifth, what about the growth of WSU/Pullman/Whitman County?
>
>Sixth, has the combined growth of Moscow, Latah County, UI, and 
>WSU/Pullman/Whitman County increased over the proposed 400 former employees 
>of Verizon housed in the NSA building?
>
>Seventh, could this growth in population have anything to do with the 
>current parking ( or lack thereof) in downtown Moscow?
>
>Here are some numbers as found on the US Census website and the City of 
>Moscow website.
>
>2004 Census listed Latah County at 35,169 estimated.
>2000 Census listed Latah County at 34,935.
>1990 Census listed Latah County at 30,617.
>1980 Census listed Latah County at 28,749.
>
>2000 Census listed Moscow at 24,955.
>1990 Census listed Moscow at 18,915.
>1980 Census listed Moscow at 16,513.
