Kamloops opens 2023 with quiet building month

Feb 6, 2023 | 11:28 AM

After a record-breaking 2022, the city’s building sector got off to a slower start in 2023.

New numbers produced by the City of Kamloops Building Inspection Division show $9.6 million in permit activity in January, about two-thirds what the city doled out in January 2022.

The majority of last month’s permit activity, $5.8 million, came in the commercial category.

Only six new residential units were started in January, compared to 29 last January.
