High-Rise Tower Permits Low

New York City’s construction boom went bust. In September 2008, only 3 applications were filed compared to 23 in September 2007. During the same period, all NYC applications were down 30% from 319 to 222. 130,000 people work in the city’s construction industry. Or at least that many did back then.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo website development delays prevented it’s publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
