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.

I agree that there are many pros and cons to a new industry moving to town.
