Quispamsis is trying to get ahead of changes the province is making to its Building Code Act. Gary Losier, Director of Engineering and Works, says Quispamsis is looking to make changes so it can live up to the new standards. He says the biggest issue is drainage and they want to make sure it is addressed for neighbourhoods as a whole, not just for individual homes.
Losier also says contractors will see an increase in building and permit fees. The town's fees have not been reviewed since 1993 and will be changing to mirror those set up in neighbouring towns. A public information session is being held June 9th at 7pm at Town Hall so people can learn about the new requirements.
