$5.1 BILLION in construction work last year

In 2019, CPD issued
71,000 permits
, up slightly from 2018 but fewer than in 2017.
The value of the construction materials and labor used on those permits was roughly
$5.1 billion
, up from the roughly $4.2 billion in value permitted in 2017 and in 2018. This indicates an increase in the size and complexity of construction projects permitted last year.

250,000 inspections
last year, which was about the same as in 2018.
