[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The town doubles its size every 17 years, so in 17 years the population will be 3,070 * 2 = <<3070*2=6140>>6140.

In 34 years, the population will be 6140 * 2 = <<6140*2=12280>>12280.
In 51 years, the population will be 12280 * 2 = <<12280*2=24560>>24560.
In 68 years, the population will be 24560 * 2 = <<24560*2=49120>>49120. Answer: \boxed{49120}.
