A new five-unit retail plaza at 1579 Mountain Rd. and the next phase of work at Rocky Stone field led the way for the City of Moncton to post just over $7 million in building permits in November. Other significant projects include renovations to the McDonald's restaurant on Ensley Drive and the interior fit up of the new Shoppers Drug Mart on Vaughan Harvey Boulevard. As well, Memco Controls will begin work on a new building on Frenette Avenue in Caledonia Industrial Estates. The November figures are down sharply from the same period last year when there was $14 million in construction. However, the number of permits issued November to November were virtually identical. Meanwhile, the year -to-date total value of permits is $113,284,861, down about $15 million from this time last year.
