"There hasn't really been a lot of housing built since the '80s." An article in Money Magazine in 1991 listed Bryan-College Station as the third most livable area in the United States. Harwell said the article was one of the fac tors contributing to the recent growth. "That article at least gave people an idea where we are," Harwell said. Hazleton said this article may have given Bryan-College Station publicity, but it proba bly didn't make people want to move here. He said 2,000 or 3,000 people have been added to the Bryan-College Station labor force since last year. Three new restaurants opened in down town Bryan this summer, and many business es expanded. "We've had an explosion of business in downtown Bryan," said Elizabeth Miller, man ager of the Mainstreet Project in downtown Bryan. "Since January 1992, we've had $22.3 million worth of investment by the private sec tor in the downtown area." Miller said this growth can be attributed! incentives and a desire to appeal to students, "We have a loan program that helps buj nesses get started," Miller said. "There'sart newed interest in the downtown area." "A lot of businesses are interested in cap tunng the student market," Miller said. Hazleton said he sees the Bryan-Colleji Station area continuing to grow. "But it will be a controlled growth," Har well said. Hazleton said, "In the '80s, the Universilt grew so rapidly. Now that is no longeroo curring."
