• Second, the projections were dampened to fit within the region-wide employment growth totals for the period. <br /> • Third, these projections were adjusted based on historical commercial/industrial construction activity, retail center-location and retail <br /> leasable space, office space base and growth, highway upgrades and improvements planned for the period, and population and household <br /> growth. <br /> Central city employment allocations were prepared in the same manner as quadrants. <br /> The total of all quadrants,'along with the central cities allocation, equals the regional employment forecasts. Allocations were then made to <br /> quadrant by policy area. Community level allocations were made using the quadrant/policy areas as control totals. <br /> As was mentioned previously, the Council revises its forecasts approximately every five years. In the interim, staff monitors development patterns <br /> to assess the accuracy of the forecasts. The Council has developed a process to evaluate proposed adjustments in the Interim until the next <br /> revision in the forecasts. <br /> NOTE: <br /> The forecast allocations for cities, townships and counties were originally issued in August, 1992. Subsequently, the forecasts were allocated to <br /> traffic analysis zones (TAZs) with the assistance of city and township staff. The allocation process resulted in some minor adjustments in the totals <br /> for some cities and towns. <br /> The places with changes in the forecasts of population and households are Oak Grove Township in Anoka County; Victoria in Carver County; <br /> Apple Valley, Inver Grove Heights, Lilydale and West St Paul in Dakota County; Bloomington, Richfield and Wayzata in Hennepin County; White <br /> Bear Township in Ramsey County; Credit River Township in Scott County; and Woodbury in Washington County. Dellwood (Washington <br /> County) has changes in households. Places with employment changes are Apple Valley, Rosemount and West St. Paul in Dakota County; <br /> Bloomington, Edina, Greenfield, Hopkins, Orono, Plymouth, Richfield and Wayzata in Hennepin County; St. Paul and Shoreview in Ramsey <br /> County; and Oakdale, White Bear Lake and Woodbury in Washington County. <br />
