It is still a slow start to the year for building permits in the city of North Battleford.
A grand total of four permits were issued in February for a permit value of $195,000, down from the six permits for $749,500 issued the same month the year before.
The numbers for February include two residential alterations for $50,000, one commercial alteration for $50,000 and one sign for $95,000.
Overall through the first two months of 2018, eight permits for $253,000 have been issued, compared to 15 for $1,562,500 for the same period a year earlier.
At planning committee Monday night city manager Jim Puffalt acknowledged it was a “quiet month” but assured councillors there is “much more to come.” Construction projects expected to happen this spring include the new Magic Lantern theatre project downtown.
