West Grey sees building permit value increase

The value of building permits in West Grey has grown steadily over the last three years.

In 2020 there were 299 building permits issued worth $41.4 million. That's up from $39.9 million in 2019 and $30.7 million in 2018.

New home construction led the way in West Grey last year.

The municipality's chief building official, Karl Schipprack, notes contractors faced many challenges because of the pandemic including supply disruptions and enhanced safety guidelines.
