Brighton is continuing to stay above water when it comes to construction value of building activity this year.
Municipal officials say seven permits were handed out last month at a construction value of $3.3 million.
The number of permits are fewer for the month of August than the 13 recorded last year, but the construction value cleared the $1.7 million racked up from August of 2024.
Year-to-date numbers show the same picture, with a lower number of permits, 108 compared to 118 through the first eight months of 2024, but a huge leap in construction value from $42.4 million to $108.4 million.
Permits for two single-unit dwellings cleared more than $1 million in construction value last month.
