The Metropolitan Council released a report this week (click here to see it) which shared its findings about Twin Cities regional population growth. The report shows that the Twin Cities metro area continues to add population. Blaine is the fastest growing city in the metro area during the 2000-2005 study period with a growth of 9,006 people. Eden Prairie made the Top Ten (another Top Ten list for us) list of fastest growing cities for the 2000-2005 time period at #6 with a population growth of 6,054. We were right behind Woodbury and right ahead of Farmington. The Star Tribune wrote about the study in their July 19 edition.
The results speak for themselves. Eden Prairie is a desirable place in which to live and people still want to get into our town. That’s a good place to be, but it also tells me that the bar is set high and that we’ve got to work hard to keep up our community reputation and quality of life.
Speaking on behalf of city government, we’ll do our best to do just that.
