For immediate release
Shediac is on course for another record year for building permits
Shediac, NB - For nearly four years, the Town of Shediac has been experiencing significant growth in residential and commercial construction. After three successive record-breaking years from 2020 to 2022, the municipality is on track to shatter all records set in recent years. In just six months, building permits have already surpassed the 2022 figure of over $69.5 million, reaching $76,526,485.
Shediac Mayor Roger Caissie is delighted with the results expected for 2023.
“It's true that we can count on a considerable building permit for the new nursing home currently under construction in Shediac," explains Roger Caissie. “However, we must take into consideration that all types of permits are up in the first six months of the year compared to last year."
In 2022, the Town of Shediac granted a total of 182 building permits. According to Mayor Roger Caissie, if the year continues on the same trend as the first six months of 2023, the lobster capital of the world could easily surpass the number of permits granted.
"From January to June 2023, already 116 building permits have been granted compared to 92 last year for the same period," explains Mr. Caissie. With six months left in the year, we're only 66 building permits short of last year's total."
The month of June 2023 was exemplary for the Town of Shediac, with a total value of almost $5.4 million in building permits. In residential permits alone, the municipality doubled the number of permits granted, with 38 for a total value of $3,881,363.
According to the mayor, the development of the Town of Shediac continues to ensure a balance of all aspects, such as the environment and the economy.
“Our municipality is experiencing significant growth, and we must continue on this path, while focusing on the aspects that make Shediac one of the best places to live," said Roger Caissie. Our municipality must retain its unique character that sets it apart from the rest."

PLEASANT STREET RECONSTRUCTION
The work is divided into two phases.
The first phase (Phase 1 – 8-10 weeks) will consist of the portion of the work between the Marina and the intersection of Robidoux and Pleasant Streets. Traffic in the construction zone will only be permitted to citizens who live within the affected work zone.
The second phase (Phase 2 – 12 weeks) will consist of carrying out the remaining part of the work, from Robidoux Street to Avenue Belliveau. Just like Phase 1, circulation in the construction zone will only be permitted to citizens who live inside the affected work zone.
During construction, Town of Shediac employees will install a temporary above-ground water system based on the phases of the project. Each house and establishment will be connected to this temporary system for the duration of the project phase.
Please note:
1) Access to the marina will be maintained at all times.
2) Due to work on Pleasant Street, John Lyons Park on Centennial Drive will be closed to the public effective immediately until later this fall.
This project aims to replace aging infrastructure and build capacity in the Town of Shediac. We ask for your cooperation and appreciate your patience as we work to improve our community infrastructure.
