Question

What kind of specific services would a town need in order to grow to have a population of 1000-3000 people?

Answer 1

employment, education facilities, affordable housing, public transport, electricity, this would be a start  

Answer 2

a place where they could work where you could support a small economy.  Maybe a call center.

Answer 3

Grocery shops, nice suburban houses, normal township function (gas, water, sewer, and waste), and a good tourist site.

You better off attracting retired people then working class people dues to the lack of employment.
