First, Williston:
From KXNews television.
The Williston Herald reports that through October, 938 permits had been issued with a total value
of $406 million. That broke last year's record of 929 permits totaling
nearly $358 million.
Only $44 million worth of building permits were issued in Williston in 2009. That was more than doubled to $106 million in 2010.
2012 (through October): $406 million (see human interest story posted December 2, 2012)
2011 (full year): $358 million
2010 (full year): $106 million
2009 (full year): $44 million
I doubt this includes the permits for the newly announced "The Ridge at Harvest Hills."
Now, Minot:
From KXNews television.
With two months left in the year, building permits have already shattered the record set last year in the city of Minot.
The dollar figure is massive -- in fact, in
October of this year alone, about 65 million dollars worth of projects
were given permits.
In the entire year of 2009 the dollar figure was about 66 million.
2012 (through October): $279 million
2011 (full year): $204 million
2009 (full year): $66 million
I find the 2009 figures for Minot and Williston interesting (comparing the two).
