The value of construction permits the City of Ottawa handed out decreased year-over-year last month despite the approval of several high-value row housing projects, municipal records show.
Companies received $80,131,877 worth of permits in December. That’s down 40 per cent from the $133,327,311 that contractors received during the same month a year ago.
The number of permits increased slightly to 388 from 387.
