JULY PERMITS BOOSTED BY REMODELING AT STARBUCKS

  

A permit for over $600,000 in remodeling top the building permits issued in July in Brenham.

A permit for interior remodeling at the Starbucks on Highway 290 West is valued at $623,000.

That helps bring the total value for the 36 permits issued in July to $2,105,503.  That total is lower than last year’s July total of $3.7-million for 33 permits.  The total a year ago was buoyed by the Pet Adoption Center permit worth $2.9-million.

For the year, the permits are still running well ahead of last year’s pace, at $32.8-million.  In 2015, the city had issued $21-million in permits through July.

Also in July, nine new residence permits were issued for a total of $990,540.
