It was a considerably stronger February for building permits in North Battleford.
Six permits were issued for a total value of $4,887,000, compared to six permits for $6,712,000 for the same month in 2014.
While last February’s numbers were driven by two new commercial permits, this year’s numbers were driven by one permit issued in the apartment category for $4 million.
There was also one residential alteration permit for $2,000, one commercial alteration for $525,000, one industrial alteration for $150,000, one institutional alteration for $200,000 and one sign permit for $10,000.
For the first two months of 2015, 11 permits have been issued for $5,493,500, down from the strong start to 2014, which saw 13 permits issued for $14,390,700.
The permit numbers were submitted by Building Inspector Jerry Wintonyk for the monthly Planning Committee meeting at City Hall Monday, and presented to council by director of planning and development Tim LaFreniere.
