In the future, population growth could rebound significantly as several new businesses are in the process of moving to the Hawthorne area. These businesses include a waste disposal and recycling operation associated with the reuse of the Rawhide Mine, a new defense and security contractor, Skyview Academy (a private youth correctional facility) and Peninsula Flooring. Collectively, these new business operations could provide more than 500 new jobs in the local economy over the next five years with the potential to expand. Additionally, numerous part-time job opportunities associated with the defense and security contractor will be created as well as increased short-term visitor activity.
