City commercial development value drops over fourth quarter
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Commercial construction was under the microscope at Wednesday’s Municipal Planning Commission meeting.
While residential building permits for the most part held steady in the fourth quarter of 2017, commercial projects took a major dive in value compared to the previous year.
When compared with the fourth quarter of 2016, construction values for non-residential permits between October and December 2017 dropped from $36 million to just $4.9 million.
