June was another good month for building permit values in Prince George.
According to a report presented to City Council at this week’s meeting, the City issued 58 building permits last month, worth a combined $20.1 million.
“It’s been a fairly positive building season, and there’s no real show of a slow up,” said Director of Planning and Development Deanna Wasnik.
“Right now we still have quite a few permits that are at the intake stage as well as being processed.”
Housing made up the majority of permits issued last month, with 13 issued for new single-family dwellings, four for new duplexes, and three for new mobile homes.
Wasnik said she anticipates the numbers to stay strong in July and August.
“Into the fall months, we often see that trickle downward, only because of the season, and it becomes more difficult or expensive to build in the cooler months, given that foundations would have to be heated and boarded,” she explained.
So far this year (as of the end of June), the City has issued 194 building permits with a combined value of $184 million.
