In Growth, Industrial Expansion By JACK GEARIN Of The Times Staff Oshawa can look back in this Centennial Year on some unique municipal achievements. This applies especially to the fields of industrial expansion and population growth. It also applies to the era after 1955 to the present. Oshawa remained the fastest growing city in Canada in 1966 with a growth rate of 55 per cent over the past 10 years. This was well above the ten- year average growth rate of| Canada at 19 per cent and On- tario at 22 per cent. Oshawa took a big jump in population (8,126) and acquired 10,415 acres of land in one hig swoop back in April 1951 --that was when it acquired part of East Whitby Township to the east, west and north of the city. CITY HAS STABILITY Oshawa is still working hard to attract big indsutry, but, meanwhile, smaller firms are attracted by The Motor City's stability. '*We looked at communities up and down the Niagara-Toronto frontier before moving to Osh- awa," said one U.S. business ex- ecutive who recently opened a small factory here. "We liked the healthy commercial and in- dustrial atmosphere which we found." Road and rail facilities are well developed. Another attrac- tion for prospective industry in the area's manpower develop- ment programs. In addition, a new junior college is to be opened in September; by up- grading skills, the city hopes to attract industries and corpora- tions requiring sophisticated labor. The City's population is ex- pected to increase from its pres- ent 77,556 to about 88,000 by about 1970. Oshawa's commerce and in- dustry are playing the key role in the City's growth and moving in here, ones which are A survey of the past three years clearly indicates the point. A total of 18 new manufactur- ing and service industries have been established in that period and there has been 61 plant ex- pansions by manufacturing and service industries (totalling more than 3,000,000,000 square feet. More than 130 new commer- cial businesses have been estab- lished and about 200 expanded. The City's taxable assess- ment from commerce and _in- dustry rose to almost 47 per cent during the three-year period, an enviable record in view of the fact that this is well above the 40 per cent goal of many com- munities. DISPOSABLE INCOME Oshawa's personal disposable income for 1965 totalled $170,- 700,000, which was up $21,200,000 over 1964. Retail sales in 1965 totalled $109,100,000, reflecting thus an increase of $12,100,000. development. Cheques cashed in 1965 totalled $5.75 billion, double the $2.86 billion in 1961, and an increase of $.94 billion over 1964. The City could boast of build-) ing permits for the same period of more than $69,000,000--during the same period more than 4,000 dwelling units were constructed. | If the expansion is imple- }mented, a site east of the exist- |ing harbor basin -- 184 acres of marshland -- would be used to} build a new harbor, one capable} of accommodating 20 seaway-} sized ships.

Notable gains have been made to garner more of this trade (with the addition of new motel outlets with conven- tion accessories). Oshawa is fortunate in that it has the only airport in the east- | ern sector of the Metro Toronto) region. Oshawa may soon become the Hamilton of the eastern end of the Golden Horseshoe industrial belt; but this would seem to be dependant (for a large part) on the proposed expansion of the Oshawa Harbor. Federal government which illus- trates the support already given! the project. Details are to be worked out as to the city's needs in the area for a sewage dis- posal plant. The present harbor has had extensive improvements during the past three years, including a new 500-foot berth on the east side of the basin which can handle cargo previously by- passed by the port. One of the strongest areu.| ments for the total development of the existing harbor and the marshland is that there are ap-| \proximately 500 industires em-| 12-man City Council and a mayor.
