To find the average number of people the town will grow by in 5 years, we need to divide the total growth in population (600 people) by the number of years (2 years).
This gives us an average growth of 600/2 = 300 people per year.
Therefore, the town will grow by an average of 300 * 5 = 1500 people in 5 years.
So, the answer is B: 1,500 people.
