Strong November pushes Kamloops to record-setting construction year
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops says construction activity was way up year-over-year in November.
“November was a really strong month for us,” says Building and Engineering Development Manager Jason Dixon. “We had $34 million worth of construction activity compared to $9.2 million in November of 2016.”
Broken down, he says that number doesn’t “so much” represent sales, but building permits for houses under construction ($18.7 million on the residential side and $14.6 million on the commercial side. $602,000 was classified as “other”).
