Ogden Clark, the strategic affairs manager for Manatee County's Public Works department, simply was confirming to the Lakewood Ranch Rotary Club members what they already knew.

More growth means more road improvements.

Clark was speaking Sept. 7 at the Rotary Club's meeting at the Lakewood Ranch Country Club.

He didn't have any magical answers. He told the members that adding approximately 5,000 new homes every year in Manatee County is going to stress the roadways unless new roadways and built and existing roads are improved. Manatee County's population is approximately 430,000 with more people, and drivers, on the way.

"In 2010, they projected that Manatee County by the year 2045 would be where we are now with population," Clark said during the meeting.

With the continued growth, Clark said the county's Capital Improvement Plan funding has expanded exponentially as well. Funding from state and federal programs as well as local funding has ballooned the Capital Improvement Budget from $300 million to $1.8 billion, he said.

Clark gave an overview of road projects impacting both Rotary Club members and East County residents.
