The development of Cockshutt Moulded Aircraft greatly contributed to the wartime growth of the city. By mid-1943, it was decided that the city would require 400 new houses to support the bolstered population of workers brought to Brantford from all distances. This residential development was funded by the Federal government and the rate of home building could not keep up with the number of employees to the industrial companies entering the city, which resulted in some families, like the Allen family showcased previously, having difficulty securing a home.  

This growth can be seen as the peak of the economic impact that Cockshutt Moulded Aircraft had on the city. It grew the city’s population, provided thousands of jobs, and encouraged the creation of hundreds of new homes.
