Despite the recession, 2009 building stats in Sarnia go into the history books as the fourth best of all-time. Construction values last year were almost five million dollars better than the year before, coming in at 99.3 million dollars. There were 802 building permits issued in 2009, 51 more than in 2008. Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley credits diverse investments locally. Meantime, 125 permits were issued for single family homes, 72 fewer than 2008. 128 permits were issued for multi-family units last year compared to 14 the year before. That’s inflated by the 111 apartment units at the Tricar building on Front Street.
