Connecticut new-housing construction slid in April from a month earlier, a fresh tally shows.
There were 334 permits issued in 104 communities last month to build single- and multi-family housing, down from 474 issued in March, the state Department of Economic and Community Development said Wednesday, citing Census Bureau housing survey data.
Through the first four months of this year, 1,179 permits have been issued, primarily for one-family houses and buildings sheltering five or more households.
Year-ago comparisons are unavailable due to shrinkage of the Census Bureau’s sample size of state communities.
