  • “This high level of major project construction activity supports the region’s economy and employs many residents, creates housing and infrastructure, and provides new services to residents,” noted Christiansen.

  • “With high interest rates expected to stay and the significant fall in building permits, building construction activity may slow this year,” concluded Christiansen.
