The Creation of Le Villageois
Land negotiations were completed and the project incorporated in 2001. By 2003 a feasibility study had been done and municipal land use approval was achieved. By the following year, the design drawings and outline of specifications were finished. The building permit was issued in August 2007, and construction commenced in September. Finally, an operating budget was approved in April 2009, and occupancy commenced in some units this fall.
