A major multi-unit residential project has boosted the construction
figures in Kincardine.
Fifteen building permits were issued in November, with a total value of
$2.15 million, compared to October's 28 permits totalling $677,450.
Chief building official Michele Barr said $1.2 million of the value in
November came from the residential addition and alteration of the
building that used to be Tracy's Tap and Grill, attached to the north of
Darcie's Variety, at the corner of Russell and Walsh Streets in Ward 1.
It is being turned into apartments.
