In spite of a tightened economy, Connecticut communities authorized 910 new housing units in July, a slight (1.3 percent) increase compared to July 2000, when 898 units were authorized. The July units also represented an increase of 14.8 percent from the 783 units issued a month before. The year-to-date permits, however, are down by 1.9 percent, from 5,546 through July 2000 to 5,439 through July 2001.
The Hartford Labor Market Area (LMA) showed the largest gain in authorized units (see below), while the Danbury LMA showed the largest percentage increase - 77.4 percent, from 62 units in July 2000 to 110 units in July 2001. Danbury led all Connecticut municipalities with 38 units, followed by West Hartford with 36 and Glastonbury with 29.
New Haven County permits remained from July 2000 (157 units) to July of this year (156). However, the New Haven LMA fell 12.6 percent from 95 units in July 2000 to 83 units in July 2001. Fairfield County also posted a decline to 192 units in July 2001 from 287 units in July 2000, a decrease of 95 percent.
