A Town and Gown Approach to Boom Town Problems.

Davenport, Joseph III; Davenport, Judith Ann

Human Services in the Rural Environment, v5 n3 p9-18 May-Jun 1980

The Wyoming Human Services Project, a model of impact mitigation, might be emulated elsewhere to modify the effects of such growth now and in the future. (Author/SB)
