About $20 million worth of building permits were issued by Norfolk County’s Building Division in October 2015, which was made up primarily of 158 multi-residential dwelling units in Simcoe. The M6 / Extendicare seniors development on Cedar Street, the Indwell redevelopment of Hambleton Hall, and the Sihler Woods housing and condominium development received building permits, according to Deputy Chief Building Official Paul Berry.
