January building numbers are tabulated in North Battleford and they are considerably lower than the blazing-hot start seen in 2014.
A year earlier, seven permits had been issued for $7.6 million for January, but the numbers for the same month in 2015 were more modest, with five permits issued for $606,500.
Of those, one new industrial permit was issued for $164,000, two industrial alterations were issued for $220,000 and two sign permits issued for $222,500.
Last year saw record permit numbers for the year in North Battleford, with over $55 million in permits issued.
The numbers for January were submitted by Building Inspector Jerry Wintonyk for the city’s monthly Planning Committee meeting held Tuesday.
