SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The latest Sioux Falls building permit figures show $84 million worth of construction valuation in July.
Building Permit Chief Ron Bell says that the highest July mark ever.
Bell said July was led by the Midcontinent Indoor Aquatics Center at $20 million, followed by Hidden Hills Apartments at over $14 million and Signature apartments came in at $5.4 million.
Bell says its possible Sioux Falls could set a new valuation record beating last year’s mark.
He says what set Sioux Falls so far ahead last year was the shingling jobs that came with an August hail storm. He says some of those roofs were carried over into this year.
