Populntion Projections and Land Requirements: 1980-2000 One of the initial and fundamental steps in the land use planning process is the calculation of the amount of land required to accomodate projected growth in an area. Generally, the amount of land required for residential and associated non-residential and commercial uses is directly related to the size of the population. The following table summarizes the population projections for Cedar Grove Township during the plan period: TABLE 3-108 POPULATION PROJECTIONS: 1980-2000 1980 1990 2000 1980-2000 POPULATION TOTAL 3,166 1 3,150 2 3,1502 POPULATION CHANGE (NUMBER) (-)16 ••••*• (-)16 11980 U.S. Census figure.

This reflects the relatively stable population in Cedar Grove Township since the 1960s and the liklihood that the Township's isolation from centers of employment will result in the out-migration of certain segments of the population. Since a loss in population has been projected, the land area required to accommodate future population has not been calculated. Allocation of Growth The primary task of the Land Use Plan is to geographically allocate the anticipated growth throughout the Township in accordance with the County- wide goals and policies and Township policy statements.
