There was quite a bit more activity in Prince Edward County’s building department last month than in January of 2018.
However, the value of the new projects planned was virtually the same.
Last month the county issued 52 building permits, a fair bit higher than the total of 34 in January the year before.
However, last month’s construction value was actually slightly lower than in 2018, at just over $5 million.
In January of 2018, the value was close to $5.25 million.
