MT. VERNON — Construction in the King City came in at $185,700 in October, and an additional two business projects without projected costs.

Don Sol 2, Inc., located at 300 S. 44th Street, received a building permit in October, with project costs to be determined at a later date, and Bugsy’s Chicago Dog/Jim Youroukos, 311 Main Street, also received a permit during the month, but no estimated project cost was available, making actual building in the city higher than the amount estimated for the month.

Business construction and signage accounted for $150,700 of the total construction, with residential building topping $35,000. The permit for Don Sol was for a business addition, remodel, footings, foundation and floor slab. The permit for Bugsy’s Chicago Dog was for footings, a floor slab, foundation and related rough-ins.

In September, the city had $684,000 in business construction permitted, with the biggest boost coming from the Kohl’s Department Store Inc., permit at 141 S. Davidson Ave., next to Staples. Kohl’s has also requested a conditional sign permit for the site, which will be discussed Monday at the regular Zoning and Planning Commission meeting.
