Building permits in Cleveland in the months of October and November broke $5.5 million, demonstrating that the city is moving forward out of the economic recession. The construction of new homes comprised the majority of permits, according to the Cleveland Banner, as well as renovations on existing buildings.

"[It's] good to see new home building on the rise again," Mayor Tom Rowland told the news source. "While industrial expansions and new industries have been up these past few months, it was new homes that showed the largest increase for the four weeks of October."
