City celebrating what is shaping up to be another record breaking year for building permits
So far this year, city hall has issued 173 permits.
Among the new developments on tap, the 7-storey Upper Vista Welland residential condominium at 350 Prince Charles Drive South, which has contributed over $29 million to the overall building permit tally.
Last year, building permits issued were valued at over $236 million.
The city's Director of Planning Grant Munday says "The number of permits issued to date is surprising only because the first quarter is generally slower due to the weather and ability to begin construction These numbers indicate that 2022 will be another strong year for the city in terms of growth in our community."
