With those bridges, it's an expensive looking railway project.
It'll be worth it in the end
==================
We're going to kick off this update with a few announcements. First of which, the journal due to the lack of interest and activity has been discontinued on CSGforums (and because I rarely if at all post there anymore). Second is that Durham v2 now has its own website, which can be found here!. It's not quite complete so don't nitpick just yet

A journal which will run alongside this one, Stories of Durham is in progress. It will showcase two different provinces within Durham - Stocking Island and Pembroke Territory. It is scheduled to be started on 10 September.

Now, onto the update.
===================

The population of Whitewater as a whole has surpassed 15,000. Whitewater has hit 8,500 and Goldspire is at 5,500. Because of the difficulty of enforcing the council's ordinances in Goldspire for being so far south and with a population surging nearly as high as Whitewater Run's, it has decided to liberate Goldspire and establish its own council.


While this took many worries off of Whitewater Run's shoulders, it thrust them onto Goldspires, and Whitewater Run still has some troubling concerns to take care of. First is the increasing demand for agriculture in Whitewater Run, but the lack of space makes that a problem. An area near the industrial dispatch in Whitewater Run is being considered for farming, however it hasn't been made official yet.

Agriculture isn't the only thing in demand in Whitewater Run - a new industrial dispatch has already been approved for a small peninsula on the western portion of the river.

In Goldspire several problems present the newly formed council. One problem is connections to Whitewater Run. Although construction of the rail link has been making swift problems, manufactured products have been sitting warehoused. Another concern that has been raised is the large amounts of traffic headed to the nearest ferry dock in the nearby village of White Settlement. This is the largest problem facing the council right now as road pollution has been killing farm fields nearby. Something must be done soon in order to save the agricultural business in Goldspire.


Another concern facing Whitewater Run's council is the growth on Branch Island. Surrounding terrain is too steep to build on, however holds one of the rail junctions for the Whitewater Run - Goldspire rail link. Another junction connecting Wooded Island to Branch Island is located nearby, and is expected to be the location for a new industrial dispatch within the next ten years.
