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 building department report bears this out during the past year 642 build ing permits were issued with a tol- al construction value of 6121267000 this figure in cluded 456 new singlefamily homes in 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

shortage 3 a stable economy there does not appear to be any radical changes forthcoming in the near future he says he anticipates construction in the current year will be on a par with 1986 with a 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
