- Meanwhile, the eight starts in Dawson Creek marked the third straight year in which fewer than 10 housing units had begun construction.
- “Despite the decline in major project activity, the Northeast still boasted the third highest MPI (Major Project Inventory) value in the province,” continued Bone.
- The largest project under construction remained BC Hydro’s $16.0 billion Site C Project, which is expected to be completed in 2025.
