“Modest” growth forecast in Prescott-Russell
that, although employment is forecast to grow modestly, this does not mean that no new building activity will take place. New investment will continue to occur in the form of retail and related services as- sociated with new population and housing growth. Some new industrial-type develop- ment can also be anticipated to occur, par- ticularly in locations with good transporta- tion access.” The majority of future employment
growth will be one of two major types: Ap- proximately 1,700 jobs will be “population- related” employment, which are jobs that grow to serve growth in the resident popu- lation, including retail and “work at home” employment; and approximately 1,700 jobs will be “employment land” employment, or the range of uses typically occupying in- dustrial-type buildings. The balance of em- ployment growth, approximately 400 jobs, would be other rural-based employment.
jobs or roughly 13 percent over the 2036 horizon. The modest level of employment growth is largely a result of the aging of the population and continued out-migration from the County although this does not mean that no new development will oc- cur. The modest growth overall is likely to be balanced by growth in specific locations and sectors, such as goods movement and distribution.” Overall, the counties are “an exporter of labour,” note the consultants who point out only 52.8 percent of the total resident em- ployed labour force actually lives and works within the community, with the share drop- ping to 32.2 percent in the western area. Since a large number of west-end resi- dents work in Ottawa, “This commuting relationship is leading to increased devel- opment pressures in the western part of the County, in particular communities of Russell, the Nation, and Clarence-Rockland and is anticipated to have a strong effect on both the amount of and distribution of growth, particularly related to demand for commuter-related housing. The outlook for employment is also tied, in part, to the County’s relationship to the broader eco- nomic region, in particular the outlook for the Township of Russell. The health and di- versity of the County’s economy and broad- er regional economy will all exert an influ- ence on the housing outlook by location and choice of housing type and, as a result, the local distribution of growth.” The report adds: “It is important to note

L’ORIGNAL| The population of Prescott- Russell is expected to growby a“modest” four percent between now and 2036, ac- cording to projections presented to the united counties. The current population of 88,700 is forecast to rise to 111,500 by 2031 and to 116,800 by 2036, says a report submitted by Hemson Consulting as part of the re- view of the counties’ official plan. By 2036, Clarence-Rockland will con- tinue to be the largest municipality in the counties – its population is projected to go from 24,120 to 33,210 over the next 23 years. The population of Russell Township will rise from 15,810 to 23,660; the popula- tion of The Nation will rise from 12,170 to 15,280 during that same period. Hawkesbury will see its population increase from 10,890 to 13,390; Alfred- Plantagenet will go from 9,540 to 12,040; Champlain from 8,840 to 10,010; Cassel- man from 3,800 to 5,200; East Hawkes- bury from 3,490 to 4,000. “The most important factor driving the overall growth forecast is the economic and urban structural relationship between the County and broader regional econo- my centred on the City of Ottawa and, to a lesser extent, Montréal,” the report says. “Employment is forecast to remain rela- tively stable, growing by roughly 3,800
