Building permit values in Red Deer were down in March 2022, compared to a year earlier.

There were 67 permits issued last month worth $9.5 million, in contrast to the 97 issued in March 2021 worth $13 million.

Year-to-date numbers, however, show an increase compared to 2021. Current total value for the year is at $36 million, compared to $19 million last year. The increased value is despite fewer permits actually being issued, with 155 in the first quarter of this year, compared to 209 last year.

Notable permits include:

 Building permit for a new commercial building that includes areas for merchandise sales, a private school, and day care facility at 2827-2101 30 Avenue, valued at $2.8 million
