The two driving forces behind last month’s values were eight commercial alteration permits worth $2 million, and six new single-family dwellings worth a combined $2.9 million.

Additionally, there were two new institutional buildings with a combined value of $2.2 million, and two new mobile homes.

2023 was a down year for building permit numbers, following a record year in 2022.

Other items on tomorrow’s busy agenda include the Mayor Yu’s first report on his expenses, and a review of last year’s road and sidewalk capital projects.
