Luc impact of industrial revolution

I think if a new industry was set up within town limits a lot of new people would move into the town. A lot of things would change like busier streets and more roads would have to be made, there would also be more houses made to which means we would have to hire more people to build them. We would also need a bigger water treatment plant, and a bigger dam would need to be put in to supply water to a larger community. With more people moving to the town we would need more police because the crime rate would most likely rise. There would have to be a larger hospital build in case of emergency and a better fire department.

Nathan Industrial Revolution

If an industry opened up a factory for 1500 people there would be a lot of pros and cons. Sure there would be a lot more money brought to Assiniboia; but where would all of those people sleep, eat and shop. Our services are not equipped to handle that big of a population increase. Because it is not only the 1500 people who come here to work but they also bring their family. Suppose every family had 4 people that would be 6000 people coming to Assiniboia or a 200% population increase. Where would all of the sewage go, even if we could get the equipment where would the town get the money to run it. The town would not only be building a factory but they would also be building new houses, hospital, police station, fire station, EMS and Paramedic station, water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant and many other services.
Although the factory would bring money and employment to Assiniboia. I don’t think we could provide the essential services for a larger population.

Impacts of Industry

If a new industry were to move to town, there would be many impacts. For the industry to be able to hire 1500 people there would be new people who would move to town. With more people moving to town, more houses would need to be built. We would also need contractors to build those houses. When those houses were built, the town would need to expand it’s water, electricity, and waste management systems. Also, when the people move here, they would bring more vehicles, and more vehicles means more pollution.
The old businesses might not be able to support all the new people. There would be more stores that would be built to supply the new people. The new families would bring children with them, so the schools would need to be expanded. These would be the impacts of a new industry.
