Yale, health system pay New Haven millions in building permits
Cranes, scaffolding and work crews across the city bring much-needed money to the city's treasury, and no checks are bigger than those sent to Building Official Jim Turcio by Yale University and Yale New Haven Health.
Turcio starts out each budget year counting on more than $3 million combined in building permit fees from New Haven's two largest employers and occupiers of much of the city's real estate.
While both the university and the health complex that includes Yale New Haven Hospital are mostly tax exempt, that doesn't mean they don't pay the city a large chunk of money every year.
"My budget starts off at $6.6 million," Turcio said. He expects at least $1.5 million in permit fees each from Yale and Yale New Haven, plus $3.6 million from other residents and businesses doing "your normal roofing, siding, bathroom, kitchen remodels, building remodels."

New Haven's Downtown Crossing Project Reaches Phase 2
New Haven has begun phase two of the Downtown Crossing Project, connecting downtown sections of the city with nearby neighborhoods.
The three-part project looks to make New Haven a more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city.
Leaders broke ground on the site of the future Orange Street and Route 34 Intersection, which is designed to bring the community closer together. In the 1950s, an urban renewal project disconnected city neighborhoods and cut off access to Union Station from downtown. Now, the project aims to reconnect these neighborhoods and improve critical infrastructure.
Michael Piscitelli, interim economic development administrator for the City of New Haven, believes that rejoining these areas will create a stronger city.

SCORECARD: Manufacturing, education and medical sectors driving New Haven-area economy
When June ended and July began, the United States entered into uncharted territory: The longest economic recovery ever is now at hand.
But while Connecticut to some extent has been part of that recovery, the state's own economy as a whole continues to struggle.
The same cannot be said for the New Haven-area economy, which continues to outpace the state as a whole by a wide margin, according to Donald Klepper-Smith, chief economist and director of research for New Haven-based DataCorePartners and author of the New Haven Register's Economic Scorecard
The June edition of the scorecard saw six of the eight key indicators used in assessing the economic health of the New Haven area headed in a positive direction. The only two indicators that were headed in a negative direction in June were consumer confidence and real disposable income. Read More
