A growing state means growing responsibility for TxDOT<br />
MARC EXECUTIVE<br />
WILLIAMS DIRECTOR<br />
T exas attracts people like no other state. That’s not<br />
just bragging. That’s a point state demographer Dr.<br />
Lloyd Potter made during a presentation to the Texas<br />
Transportation Commission this spring.<br />
Texas is adding, on average, more than 1,500 people to its<br />
population every day. It is home to seven of the 12 fastest-<br />
growing counties in the nation, and it claims the fastest-<br />
growing city in the nation, Princeton, which grew by more<br />
than 30% last year.<br />
Texas added almost 563,000 people to its population<br />
last year — more than any other state.<a title="TNMAG0725 page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/221993e9?page=1"> SHINING A LIGHT ON WORK ZONES TxDOT wears orange </a>
