 Smart Tool: Cape Coral's Interactive Growth Model Track: Modeling Author(s): Paul Van Buskirk, Carleton Ryffel , Darryl Clare Many communities across the nation are facing extreme growth, great pressure for services and a drop in tax dollars. To address these realities a first-of-its-kind Interactive Growth Model was developed for the City of Cape Coral, Florida, that can be adapted for other governmental agencies to weigh different growth scenarios and the positive and negative impacts of planning decisions. Cape Coral has experienced extraordinary growth increasing in population from 10,970 in 1970 to 102,286 in 2000, a ten-fold jump over thirty years.
