Bizjournals predicts Eastern Shore growth - al.com

Bizjournals predicts Eastern Shore growth - al.com: "The metro area encompassing east and south Baldwin County could be among the fastest-growing spots in the nation in the years ahead, with the population booming to 232,985 by 2025, according to projections published this month by Bizjournals.

That's an increase of 43.7 percent, one of the stronger rates among 250 areas ranked by Bizjournals, the online division of American City Business Journals, which has 41 publications.

The Mobile metro area, meanwhile, was listed among the slow growers, climbing in population by just 2.24 percent."
