Park City projects boost construction

(Park Record) A public-sector development propped up Park City's monthly construction numbers in September, the Building Department reported, but the year-to-date tally remains well behind the pace of last year.

Through the end of September, the Building Department had authorized $61.3 million worth of construction. Through the same time the year before, $134.6 million in work had been authorized.

The Building Department said it issued permits in September for the Snow Creek Cottages, a work force project that City Hall is developing outside the Park Avenue police station. The project accounted for 13 of the 15 permits for single-family houses issued in September. The 15 permits are valued at $3.9 million combined.

The 15 permits issued for single-family houses in September topped the combined total of the period between January and August, when 10 permits from that category were issued, the Building Department said.

In September, the department issued 105 permits across all categories worth a combined $6.2 million. The value beat the August figure by a wide margin and was slightly ahead of the number form the same month the year before, when $6 million worth of permits were issued.

Alterations and additions accounted for $2.3 million in work in September.

The number of electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits was mixed when compared to the previous month and the same month the year before.
