To solve this problem, we can use the formula for exponential growth: $P = P_0 \times (1 + r)^t$, where $P$ is the future population, $P_0$ is the initial population, $r$ is the growth rate (as a decimal), and $t$ is the time in years. Plugging in the given values, we have $1100 = 200 \times (1 + 0.059)^t$. Solving for $t$, we get $t \approx 29$ years.
