Immigrants and Revitalization
Why Immigrants?
Cities and towns that attract immigrants see:
- More neighborhood revitalization.
- Greater job growth.
- A broadening tax base - an issue that Pennsylvania has struggled with.
- An increased demand for goods and services.
- A rise in real estate values.
- Maintenance of population and demographic diversity.
- An increase on foreign direct investment.
Population Growth
- Immigration is expected to account for 66% of U.S. population growth over the next 50 years
- Immigration has allowed many U.S. cities to experience continued population growth in spite of significant domestic outmigration
