C-1.  Receive Report from Dr. Dennis Harner regarding CSISD Demographic Enrollment Projections

Harner, principal investigator with Harner and Associates working with Demographic Analysis and Enrollment Projections for College Station ISD.  Dr. Harner presented and reviewed information as it pertains to five year projections – 2007 through 2012.  Dr. Harner briefly reviewed regional setting, enrollment characteristics and trends, housing trends, enrollment projections, and build-out analysis.

 

Dr. Harner offered opinion that College Station has not yet turned the corner with economic development.  One hold up is the lack of air travel.  In order to bring “national” business to the area, air travel is primary—and College Station does not have it with our current airport.
