Building permits statistics for the month of June in North Battleford indicate construction value is down from last year, however there are a few large permits expected yet this year.
The total construction value for June was approximately $2.1 million, with 16 permits issued, compared with 14 permits for $3.6 for the same time last year.
Director of Economic Development Jennifer Niesink told city councillors at their regular meetingMonday that a $4 million apartment building permit last year contributed to some of the difference between this and last.
However, she noted there are some large permits yet to come in, including a permit for Kal Tire's new site.
While the overall value is down, the number of permits is up so far this year. To date, this year's total is almost $10.9 million, with 67 permits, compared with 60 permits worth $15.4 last year.
