Petawawa continues to grow. Yesterday, the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce hosted a Mayor’s Breakfast in Petawawa where Bob Sweet gave an update to the local business community on what’s happening within the municipality. Sweet says residential development is on the rise to keep up with the growing population.
In 2018, $34 million in building permits were issued in Petawawa , which equals out to 22 percent of the total permits issued for Renfrew County. In addition, Sweet says there is currently a 5,000 square foot expansion underway at the medical clinic on Civic Centre Road. The Mayor hopes that the members of the business community will continue to support each other and become ambassadors for the town.
