To solve this problem, we need to find the average growth rate per year.
The town's population has grown by 600 people in the last 2 years, so the average growth rate per year is 600/2 = 300 people.
Therefore, in 5 years, the town will grow by 5 * 300 = 1500 people.
The correct answer is 1,500 people.
