From Colorado, the Wet Mountain Tribune reports that the town of Silver Cliff saw an uptick in building and zoning permits issued in 2010. A total of 29 permits were issued in Silver Cliff last year as compared to 20 in 2009 and three of the 29 involved factory-built housing. Of the total issued last year, one was for a new residence, one for a multi-dwelling unit,  six were garages and/or storage sheds,  10 were additions/remodels/repairs,  one was a commercial building,  two were  manufactured homes, one was a  modular home,  one was a temporary structure,  three were for driveways, two were special use  permits,  four were  permit renewals,  one was  for a sign,  one  was a variance application and  one was for a subdivision exemption. The numbers aren’t large, but we enjoy pointing out that new permits for manufactured homes were double those for site-built and there were three times as many permits given for projects involving factory-built housing.
