Housing growth in Ottawa area steady but brisk
Ottawa added 106 new residential structures in 2003 with 80 plus in 2001 2002. In 2004 only 39 permits issued but subdivisions awaiting permits could lift momentum. Westwood subdivision near Eisenhower Elementary School has eight pending permits. Cuttings subdivision could yield 27 more. Population was 12 044 in 2003 with projected gains in a decade. Mayor Gene Ramsey notes steady growth not a boom.
