Building Permit Valuation Hits New Record in Minot, North Dakota

Here's the link. Generally these links in the regional newspapers will disappear / break within a few days. Here's the lead:

• Building permit valuation in Minot climbed to a historic level in 2010, with permit values totaling more than $100 million.
• That figure represents an increase of nearly 52 percent over 2009's total valuations.
• Valuations of permits for new single-family homes, residential remodel, and condominiums remained relatively static. But those were more than offset by an $18 million increase in new commercial buildings, a $16 million increase in apartment units and a more than $3 million increase in townhouses.

I've posted similar stories for Williston's building permits and if I find them, will link them here for comparison. Here's one: The Williston Herald is reporting that there were $104 million worth of new building permits for Williston as of December 1, 2010.
