Atlanta Building Permits Near Million Mark in July
Atlanta permit activity likely tops 1 million dollars before August. April set a record with 1,135,398 and July appears to rival or surpass that figure, with Monday’s 65,000 bringing total permits issued to 476,130. Major items include repairs for Atlanta Compress on Wheat and Air Line streets and the Albert Howell apartments at Peachtree and Ponce de Leon. Real estate sales expand, including Joyner property at Fair Oaks for 12,500 and 28 acres on Peachtree road sold for 25,000. A Peachtree Street auction of the T. P. Grant corner is planned for August 6. The Ward Baking Company seeks a Atlanta factory site, potentially creating up to 800 jobs.
