Also, he asked if we can request an economic development impact study, since we have no idea what this is going to cost the Village. The mayor said that for every 1000 people, another policeman is required. Also, Baxter & Woodman believe that every¬ thing annexed now, plus this development by Ludwig would fill treatment plant. Ludwig has agreed to provide own water supply. There is no more room for this treatment plant to expand. Any new development will need to put in another treatment plant elsewhere.
