A Good Year for Construction in Dieppe Despite COVID
The City of Dieppe ended 2020 having granted 681 building and development permits for a total value of $91,616,725, an increase of 113 permits compared with 2019. The municipality thus ends the year only 5% below the record set in 2019 with the construction of the UNIplex.
In the past year, the municipality authorized 84 permits for commercial, industrial and institutional projects, representing investments of approximately $8.6 million, in addition to granting 597 permits for residential projects, reflecting $83.04 million in investments.
“Dieppe saw booming residential growth in 2020 with the creation of 621 new housing units, almost double the number from last year,” said Mayor Yvon Lapierre. “The increase shows that Dieppe is a place where people want to set down roots. We are proud to be a community where it’s great to live, work and raise a family!”
“We are privileged to work with a business community where private investors still have confidence in the market, despite the pandemic. We saw record land sales in the industrial park in 2020, and other projects are being considered elsewhere in the city. We therefore expect 2021 to be just as positive,” said Louis Godbout, Executive Director of Expansion Dieppe.
