1983 the rate of construction and de- velopment in whitchurch- stouffville has been described as dramatic by the towns chief building official bruce arrows- mith and 1986 was no exception he says a

1985 total construction was valued at 49294693 this in cluded 307 singlefamily resi dences percentage increases follow number of building permits issued up 329 building per mit fees received up 173

slightly higher in- dustrialeommercial-to- residential ratio he predicts a general shift from urban residential development to suburban and estate residential buildup in the next two to three years
