Challenge -- Sarah

If a new industry were to come to town and require 1500 employees there would be positive effects and negative effects. The industry would attract people to town. We would have more money in town because of the industry. We would be low on money at first because it would take a lot of money to build the new business. When the business gets going it will bring more people to town, therefore we would need more houses and other businesses like restaurants, hotels, gas stations….etc.
The positive effects would be that the small businesses in town would get a lot more money. Our school size would increase. More houses would have to be built. More people would be able to find jobs because of the rapid growing of the town. We would have to build more restaurants, hotels, gas stations….etc.
The negative effects would be that the town would have more people and we could get bad people and gangs moving to our town. People might have to work longer hours. The town would have to increase water and power systems and that would cost money. To build houses would cost money. To build more businesses would cost money.
I think this would be positive and negative because if the town grew bigger we might get bad people moving here but more people would be employed.
