A big build on Base 31 accounted for the bulk of construction value raked in by Prince Edward County last month.
The latest building permit activity report from the County for the month of October listed 42 permits issued at a value of more than $16.3 million.
The construction costs for the same time last year was valued at around half of that total with $8 million with 41 permits issued.
Additionally, the total number of new homes including secondary suites was 127.
This included a 120-unit residential apartment building for Base 31, costing more than half of the total construction value at $10 million.
Year-to-date, the County’s total number of permits sits at 447, beneath the 489 issued through the first 10 months of 2025.
However, the value is higher at more than $116 million than the $95.3 million racked up by this time last year.
