Some of those answers will come when more detailed census data come out this year. Changes are evident within Bolton families. Besse doesn't trust the census numbers. Residents such as Besse theorize condominiums near the Bolton Valley Holiday Resort Inc. might have influenced the flat census count. Maybe the condominiums are attracting smaller families or more single people.
Nobody is sure.
Bolton resident Stephen Peery doesn't hazard much of a guess on the condominiums. He thinks the town has grown, census numbers notwithstanding. Peery saw his own family grow by two children in the 1990s. The feeling where I am is there's definitely growth. Besse and Peery said they like the town, whether or not it has grown.
