HICKMAN, NB — This growing suburb of Lincoln is considering building a drive-in theater as part of the first phase of a new recreational complex. The new theater would include space for 350 cars and feature an inflatable screen and wireless sound. Both the mayor and the city council are backing the proposal.

During the past decade, new housing subdivisions have sprung up near the little town. Its population has grown from under 1,000 in 2000 to nearly 1,850 city utility customers in 2010, Baker said.

As a result, the city government is facing demands for increased services for residents, including new recreational opportunities, he said.
