Municipal Development Activity
Stratford has not experienced the same degree of peaks and valleys in economic activity as the overall economy of Ontario. Over the past decade, Stratford has enjoyed relative stability in economic growth. A healthy and encouraging sign is the level of residential development activity.
Residential development has been very strong and the demand for housing in Stratford continues to grow. A significant component of that growth is driven by Stratford’s unique blend of culture, business diversity, atmosphere and amenities which visitors find extremely appealing and commonly results in their moving here.
