Construction values continued to remain strong in Sarnia last month.
For the third month in a row, March’s construction values topped last year’s numbers. In total, $4.52 million worth of building permits were issued last month compared to $3.06 million in March 2013.
Since January, the city has issued a total of $14.17 million worth of permits, almost double last year’s figures for the same three-month time period.
A bulk of that construction is happening at Imperial Oil. More than $840,000 worth of renovations is planned for the Christina Street South site, according to a report from the city.
A total of $740,000 worth of renovations is also planned for the Real Canadian Superstore plaza on Murphy Road.
Last month, the city issued 29 building permits, including 10 single family dwellings.
