To date, the City of Langford has issued a development permit for an 80-unit residential building to be situated adjacent to the school board offices. The City has also issued a development permit for a mixed-use building that will have 2,717 square metres of ground floor commercial space and 156 dwellings. A permit to construct the foundation has been issued, and a permit for the remainder of the building is ready to be issued.

Plans released last year for the mixed-use development include three main commercial areas, featuring a roughly 250,000-square-foot shopping centre that highlights an almost 53,000-square-foot Thrifty Foods grocery store.

The ground breaking takes place from 10 to 11 a.m. at 950 Division Ave., at the intersection of Jenkins and Division avenues.
