Jun 27, 2024 | 5:29 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — On Monday, city council received a building permit and development permit summary for May with 33 permits issued for the month.

The May total is made up of eight commercial/industrial permit and 25 residential permits, worth a combined total of $41.5 million. The month continued the strong start to the years for permits.

Councillor Garth Frizzell says that until “April, we were really quite concerned because we’d seen a market downturn.” Frizzell also said that what “we saw in May was a dramatic bounce back [and] that was driven partially by the $50 million parkade … but also by mutli-family dwellings.”

The year-to-date total as at the end of May is 163 permits worth a combined $140 million. The year-to-date total for the previous year 2023 was 125 permits totalling $62 million.
