  5. Implications for the future • Most employment in areas served by transportation network and sewer availability • Job concentrations persist over time. Still… • Land costs rise, employment tends to intensify (more per acre), but also tends to move out to lower cost worksites • Employers with greatest space needs move • Land supply and land use mix • More redevelopment as housing may force out jobs • Land use data informs forecasting but job density varies
