The M.S.T.W. Planning District continues to be busy with new developments.


Chairperson Alex Fedorchuk says the residential numbers look good.


He says they have a total of 290 permits so far this year, compared to 288 last year.


Fedorchuk says of those, 149 are single family units, and 5 are multi-family dwellings.


In commercial, 37 permits have been issued so far this year compared to 25 last year.


Comparing August totals from this year to last the numbers vary.


Fedorchuk says the number of permits is up this year but the value is down.


He says they did not have as many larger industrial developments this year.
