Fastest growth (forecast)
Forecasters at Fiserv Lending Solutions and
Moody's Economy.com predict a radical shift in the top 10 list of fastest
growers for the 12 months beginning in June; only one California city, El
Centro, will be represented. Instead, Washington State will dominate, with
five of the top 10 cities.Wenatchee, Washington, which lies about 150 miles southeast of Seattle, is predicted to gain the most of any city in the state, 16 percent. That won't be enough to beat Panama City, Florida, where prices are expected to rise 21 percent. That's impressive, but it's still quite a comedown from the previous five years when price gains among the top 10 fastest growing cities averaged about 20 percent a year. |

May 12--PANAMA CITY -- For airport relocation proponents, Thursday's news was as good as it gets. The Federal Aviation Administration released its final environmental impact statement, or EIS, that serves as the next-to-last hurdle in efforts to move the Panama City-Bay County International Airport to a 4, 000-acre West Bay site. The verdict: An 8,400-foot runway at West Bay is the FAA's preferred alternative in addressing the area's growth and airport operation needs.
