Building Permits Quarterly Statistics In Around Town
The Comox Valley to Campbell River building permit total values for the first quarter of 2024 have increased by 51% compared to the first quarter in 2023. However, that is due to a $45,000,000 permit for renovations to the Strathcona Recreation Centre in Campbell River. Without that permit, total values for the first quarter would have decreased by 16%.
