re: Census estimates 2014, SEC metros edition.

Fayetteville's growth is a mix of a growing university and overall healthy business climate in the broader metro region. Lots of start-ups, and 3 Fortune 500 companies within 25 minutes doesn't hurt. I feel like the town itself is getting over-densified sometimes, though. Traffic is way up. The city has zoned lots of areas for "infill" and we're seeing big apartment blocks in the downtown area now. It always feels like there's about 20% too many people in Fayetteville, IMO. Until summer break....
