City building permits up 54%
Despite a 16 per cent dip in total building permit values in Abbotsford from May to June, overall values rose 54 per cent to $246 million in the first six months of 2008, compared to last year.
"The year-to-date permit figures are a more accurate indicator of growth and show the strength of the construction industry in Abbotsford," said Keith Sashaw, Vancouver Regional Construction Association president.
