Menifee to Fuel the County's Population Boom

The State Department of Finance, yesterday, released new statistics that estimates California's population growth, and indiciates that Riverside County will more than double it's population by 2050, making it the State's second largest county.

A number of newspapers reported on this news, however the Los Angeles Times, interestingly, identified the Menifee Valley as being at the heart of this future population explosion...

Husing predicts that growth will be most dramatic beyond the city of Riverside as the patches of empty space around communities such as Palm Springs, Perris and Hemet begin to fill in with housing tracts.

Expect a lot of the new development in Riverside County to go up along the 215 Freeway between Perris and Murrieta, according to Riverside County Planning Director Ron Goldman. Thousands of homes have popped up in that area in the last decade, and Goldman said applications for that area indicate condominiums are next. The department is so busy that he's hiring 10 people who'll start in the next month.

Imagine what Menifee will look like 40 years from now.
