Central Huron sees strong growth in building and planning activity

Central Huron Council has received an encouraging Building and Planning Monthly Report, showing a notable boost in development activity within the municipality.

The report compares building permit figures between the first quarter of 2025 and 2026. From January to March 2025, 22 permits were issued, while the same period in 2026 saw that number rise to 29, reflecting a 32 percent increase in overall permit activity year-over-year.

Alongside the rise in permit volume, there has been marked growth in permit revenue. Revenue is up by $19,911.26 compared to the same time last year, largely due to a higher number of new agricultural and residential construction projects in the area.

The report highlights an ongoing trend of growth and investment in the community, notably in the agricultural and housing sectors.

The council acknowledged the report for informational purposes.
