What will the 2010 census indicate?

Could the population of Bremen in 2010 surpass the population in 1840? We'll know in February according to the 2010 census.

1830 770
1840 837
1850 891
1860 907
1870 797
1880 839
1890 842
1900 657
1910 550
1920 423
1930 322
1940 383
1950 409
1960 438
1970 454
1980 598
1990 674
2000 782
2010 ???

I thought this was interesting. Notice a 45 person increase between 1950 and 1970! And the high of 907 in 1860 just prior to the Civil War.

Bremen Conservation Commission said...: I was thinking this too. Also, the difference between then and now is that many families use to live on Bremen Long Island year round. Today its only a summer colony. Same could be said about today, half of the housing stock seems to be seasonal.; December 21, 2010 at 6:17 AM

BCC Background | 2007- Present

Since 2007 the BCC has dedicated itself to understanding the natural resources of Bremen and the conservation values and priorities of Bremen residents. Through numerous public forums and events the BCC determined a general public sentiment toward conservation which led to a lengthy process of developing a conservation plan consistent with the Comprehensive plan and public input. This plan established a baseline for where Bremen was in terms of protecting our natural resources and set forth strategies within the plan according to the four main points indicated within its mission statement.

In the latter half of 2010 the BCC began to realize that while many strategies in the Bremen Conservation Plan had been achieved, the most important work had yet to begin. In order to proceed the BCC needed to confirm conservation priorities and in January 2011 the BCC held an interactive public workshop to consider what types of projects might be considered if funded by the Bremen Land Conservation Reserve Fund (LCRF). Interestingly, this workshop affirmed what the BCC had already learned in earlier work. The results gave the commission a clear path in developing and undertaking conservation projects consistent with the conservation plan.

"Be the change that you want to see in the world." Matama Gandhi
"True conservation provides for wise use by the general public. The American people do not want our resources preserved for the exclusive use of the wealthy. These land and water resources belong to the people, and people of all income levels should have easy access to them." George D. Aiken
"The purpose of conservation: The greatest good for the greatest number in the long run." Gifford Pinchot, first Director of the U.S. Forest Service
