12- PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 14,1994 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice » Building permits improve during May Last month's building permit numbers showed a marked im- provement for 1994. Figures indicate a total of 45 permits were issued for the month with a value of $2 mil- lion. This is up from the 34 per- mits at a value of $6.1 million for the same period last year.
