BRASELTON - A planning expert predicts a population boom in Braselton over the next 20 years. <br>
<br>
By 2023, according to the report, the town is expected to hit 10,300 residents; the 2000 Census reported Braselton's population at just over one thousand. <br>
<br>
"And there's nothing you can do about it," Joe Tichy is quoted as saying by Norton Native Intelligence Market Watch, a Norton Agency publication. "You've already plotted those lots." <br>
<br>
Tichy is Special Projects Coordinator for the Athens-based Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center, and he spoke recently at a public hearing on Braselton's comprehensive plan. <br>
<br>
Braselton now spans four counties and projected population numbers don't include the possibility of future annexations, according to the report.
