2014, one of the busiest years for construction FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca
128 were for new family units – 29 single family homes, 32 semis and 67 multiple unit dwellings (such as apartments or condos). Some of the more notable residential de- velopments include the completion of the King’s Landing residential development on Montreal Road, and the ongoing develop- ment of the Knox City Centre and Cotton Mill Loft projects. Activity was strong in the commercial, industrial and institutional sectors as well, with 81 building permits being issued in 2014 for new developments or repairs. Commercial development highlights in- clude the SmartCentres development at Ninth and Cumberland streets, new offices for Bourgon Construction, the new Future Shop at Brookdale and Tollgate, new restau- rants including Boston Pizza and Menchie’s and the $55-million expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Federal proj- ects such as the new low-level bridge and the Canada Customs port of entry were also completed. However, they are not reflected in the building permit statistics.
Construction is booming in the friendly seaway city, as it was announced on Feb- ruary 2 that 715 building permits were is- sued by Cornwall in 2014, making it one of the busiest years for construction activity over the past half century. It marks the sixth highest building permit count in 56 years. The highest annual count came in 1967 when 1,069 building permits were issued. The average annual building permit count over that 56-year span is 598. The value covered by those 715 building permits added up to over $55 million in new construction. “The strong numbers for 2014 was the re- sult of a combination of new construction as well as repairs and additions to existing structures,” said Chris Rogers, Chief Building Official for the city. Of the building permits issued in 2014,

City report recommends not creating art coordinator position According to a report prepared by Christine Lefebvre, division manager of Parks and Recreation Services for the city of Cornwall, council shouldn’t create an arts and culture coordinator position. Presented to councillors on February 9, the report states that “Council not proceed at this time with the establishment of an Arts and Culture Coordinator position and continue to support the completion of a feasibility study to determine the need for an Arts Centre.” Salaries for similar positions, in neighboring communities, ranged from $43,643 to $53,380 plus benefits, added Lefebvre. The posi- tion would have to be located at the Benson Centre and an office created within existing space. The Benson Centre is the only municipal location that currently has room to cre- ate a small office. An operating budget for computer, phone, office furniture, public rela- tion, supplies, would also be required. The motion for creating an arts coordinator was brought forward by councillors Carilyne Hebert and Brock Frost, on January 12, 2014.
