The city of Lonsdale grew more last year when they issued more than 346 building permits in 2004.

The permits, worth $29.6 million, are a marked increase from the 305 building permits issued in 2003 worth $21.1 million.

Intern City Planner Tom Washa has worked for Lonsdale for two years and has seen the sharp increase in the number of permits issued.

He said Janet Jirik, the city office manager who actually issues the permits, has stayed very busy, especially with the new home construction permits.
