SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls broke last year’s building permit record yesterday at $593 million .
Mayor Mike Huether says residential and commercial projects and a June hailstorm combined to break last year’s mark by $5 million.
Dakota Pointe Apartment, Avera Prince of Peace's addition, Prairie Hill Plaza Apartments, Sioux Falls Regional Airport redevelopment and Trail Ridge all contributed to the new record.
Last year's record was %588 million and the previous record of %523 million was set back in 2007.
Huether predicts 2015 will land in the top five in construction values.
