Medina saw a cooling in its residential boom in 1971 with 75 single family permits and 204 total permits, down from 251 the prior year. Industrial and commercial activity declined from 1970 highs, while multi family units rose to 351 total through 1971, signaling a shift in housing growth.
Medina report details the A I Root Co replacing a 600 hp coal fired boiler with three Cleaver Brooks gas or oil boilers, each 125 hp, producing 25 000 lbs of steam per hour. The change ends coal burning and reduces fly ash, with two units running and a third on standby.
