Socioeconomic Longitudinal Monitoring Project. Volume III. Platte County Profile

摘要

The Longitudinal Socioeconomic Monitoring study has been conducted to compare actual socioeconomic changes which accompany the construction of coal-fired electric power plants with those projected in impact statements. Volume III analyzes Platte County (Wyoming), a control county for Kimball County (Nebraska). To isolate socioeconomic changes due to energy development, a control county was matched with each impacted community. The socioeconomic changes occurring in a county with little population growth are summarized in this volume.
