Series A <br />Series A is the most conservative projection. It assumes a 1 per cent annual growth rate in <br />the visitor industry. It also assumes that the proposed State prison will not be constructed, job <br />growth at the University of Hawaii at Hilo will be limited to 16 positions per year, and the papaya <br />industry will grow at an annual rate of 1 per cent. Without the construction of the proposed State <br />prison on the island, 2,000 construction jobs over three years and approximately 1,000 permanent <br />jobs to run the facility will not be realized. <br />SERIES A <br />POPULATION AND VISITOR INDUSTRY <br />PROJECTIONS, HAWAII COUNTY 1985-2020 <br />Economic Assessment, PKF Hawaii, January 2000 <br />U.S. Census, 2000 <br />14 <br />Introduction <br />Resident <br />Population <br />Total Visitors to <br />County <br />Hotel Room <br />Inventory <br />1985 <br />105,900 <br />760,000 <br />7,511 <br />1990 <br />120,317 <br />1,171,000 <br />8,952 <br />1995 <br />137,290 <br />1,084,000 <br />9,575 <br />2000 <br />148,677 <br />1,231, 700 <br />10,041 <br />2005 <br />159,397 <br />1,283,700 <br />10,503 <br />2010 <br />175,388 <br />1,364,600 <br />10,877 <br />2015 <br />193,118 <br />1,434,200 <br />11,177 <br />2020 <br />213,452 <br />1,507,400 <br />11,421 <br />Economic Assessment, PKF Hawaii, January 2000 <br />U.S. Census, 2000 <br />14 <br />Introduction <br />
