Trinity Site, Los Alamos County, LANS, and LANL

To me, retail development at Trinity Site is a critical part of making Los Alamos county back into a place that people will choose to move to. Without an economically viable, both to Boyer and to the county and school system, Trinity Site the county will continue to bleed gross receipts taxes to Espanola and Santa Fe.
Young families will not stay here if they can find jobs that are nearer to shopping.

There are more parts to this issue. For Trinity Site to be economically viable, the county and the Lab have to remain viable. There are strong rumors that more than 1,000 people will leave the Lab, one way or another, in the next few months. A driving force for this diminution in the Lab's work force is $200,000,000 in new costs without any compensating new income.

Has anyone analyzed the effects on Trinity Site of this potential decrease in the workforce, the retirement of older members of the current work force, and the projected movement of the work force from research and development to manufacturing.

I have initial Excel spreadsheets on this change but not serious analysis.

Thanks.
