Construction Permits Flourish Through Summer Months
A river of permits and new builds flowed from June to October across Decatur, with the largest single project a $905,751 hospital expansion and a $1.495 million July total. Major items included Gibsons Discount Center on Moulton Street, a $324,631 project, and a 40,000 warehouse for United Plywood. Housing boomed with 33 houses in September and 30 in July, while industrial growth touched banks, apartments, and service stations along Danville Road and Vine Street.
