Construction worth over 11 million dollars in total was recorded in Sarnia, last month. The largest permits included 3 million dollars for a “pilot plant research facility” at the UWO bio industrial park on Modeland Road, 1.2 million for another Shoppers Drug Mart on Michigan Avenue, and 1.1 million dollars for an addition and renovations to Bethel Pentecostal Church. Work on single family houses broke out of the doldums in June with 18 starts, bringing the year to date total to 51. That, however is still well behind the first half of 2008, when work had started on 123 new houses.
