Abstract

Lewiston will soon host of the largest Somali communities in the country if current expectations prove accurate. Lewiston mayor Kaileigh Tara acknowledged that the short-term impact on the city's infrastructure will be profound, especially in the schools. But she emphasized that the influx of Somalis will enrich the city's cultural mix and be very good for the local economy in the long run.
