The City of Saint John is reporting an increase in recent development activity since the reopening of the One-Stop Development Shop at the end of March.
“Overall, we are seeing higher than expected levels of activity and developer confidence in Saint John,” said Jacqueline Hamilton, Commissioner of Growth and Community Development.
“This is positive news for the City as we work through COVID-19 community and economic recovery plans.”
Seven projects were greenlit at the first virtual meeting of the city’s Planning Advisory Committee.
Four of these included residential projects involving almost 180 units.
Some of these applications will be considered by council on June 15.
The One-Stop Development Shop is the city’s place to access development related approvals and permits.
