After a slow year to date for building permit numbers, the Northern Capital saw plenty of development in September.
According to a report going before Prince George City Council at tomorrow’s (Monday) meeting, the city issued 38 building permits worth a combined total of $36.4 million in September of this year.
In the same month in 2022, the city issued 44 permits worth a combined $12.5 million.
New buildings were the driving factor behind the strong month last year.
Four permits for new commercial buildings were issued worth a combined $26.6 million.
Nine permits were issued for new single-family dwellings worth a combined $6.3 million, while one permit was issued new multi-family dwelling worth $1.4 million.
Despite the strong September, Prince George is still on a slow building permit pace for 2023.
As of the end of September, the City has issued 307 building permits, worth a combined total of $127.4 million.
The City has seen a drop in permits for new industrial buildings, new commercial buildings, and new single family dwellings.
Other items to be discussed at tomorrow’s meeting include changes to cemetery fees, and hosting the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Board of Directors meeting.
