On March 12, 2026, Grey County approved a $7.5 million contract to build a new road maintenance centre in Ceylon, Ontario. This project will create a permanent home for the road crew known as Patrol ‘D’ to help manage services in the southeastern part of the region.
The county awarded the $7,508,000 contract to DOMM Construction Ltd. for the project. The crew currently works out of a rented building in Flesherton, and this new facility will allow the county to centralize its equipment and staff in a building they own.
The new site will feature a main operations building and a separate storage space for winter materials like salt and sand. It will also include a lunchroom and meeting areas, and it will serve as a backup emergency centre to help the county stay prepared for major storms or crises.
Construction is expected to begin this spring. The county plans to have the new centre finished and ready for use by the winter season of 2027.
