Industrial Revolution Challenge

Challenge:
Imagine that a new industry will set up within town limits and require 1500 employees. Describe in detail the impacts - both positive and negative - that our community would have to consider in order to avoid significant difficulties. Consider the changes from the increased employment and industry spinoffs. Consider changes to living conditions which may include population, housing, infrastructure (roads, sanitation, town services), delivery of services, and so forth.  Would this be a good development or a bad one?  How could the negative developments be better managed so that everyone can enjoy the economic advantages?  Argue your viewpoint using examples from the Industrial Revolution in Britain to support your views.
