April was a good month for building permits in the city of North Battleford.
A total of 16 building permits were issued during the month, for a total value of $2,571,500. That compared to seven permits for $1,167,000 a year earlier.
Leading the way last month were four new dwelling permits for $1,131,000 and two commercial alteration permits for $1.3 million. There were also four new garage permits, five residential alterations and one industrial alteration.
This brings the total permit numbers through April to 37 permits for $8,832,000. This compares to 23 permits for $15,828,700 for the same period a year ago.
The numbers were compiled by Building Inspector Jerry Wintonyk, and presented to the City's Planning Committee meeting Tuesday.
"The values are not quite where they were last year but we're certainly making progress," said City Manager Jim Puffalt in discussing the numbers.
He also noted activity was happening on the land on 114th Street, and a number of other items were coming along as well.
"Many good things will happen over the rest of this year," said Puffalt.
