New Nome Starts Grow At Record Levels Update On Residential Developments i b Residential construction in the City continues to grow at record levels. Hugo Community Development Director Bryan Bear states, `By the end of this year,the City will have issued permits for construction of nearly 800 new housing units." He adds, "This compares to 200 0000 permits issued last year and for each of the past five years." This increase is partly due to the expiration of the City's housing moratorium in 2003. For two and one-half years new residen- tial construction was not allowed in Hugo. "After the moratorium expired there was pent-up demand for residential development," says Bear. He continues, "We're expecting 2006 to be almost as strongor stronger than this year. There is no indication that it's going to slow down g Y g g next year."
