New Prague continues to grow

New Prague continues to be a growing community.

State demographers recently certified New Prague's population in 2009 at 7,081. That's quite a change from the last official number of 4,559 in 2000.

With this year's census, we'll find out how close that estimate is to the actual number. Whatever the official population is, it's a sign of change in New Prague. The most obvious effect is there is more housing.
