Construction Boom Posts Record Spending in 1916
The Dodge Company reports that for January through June 1916 building and engineering outlays in Eastern Seaboard and mid-Atlantic states reached 68.5 million dollars, far above 1912 and well ahead of 1915 and earlier years. The broader region study shows 1916 totals near 456 million across multiple states and districts, with 1915 and prior years trailing. In Harrisburg a property at 426 South Seventeenth Street changed hands, while plans for annexation and tax delinquency sales, including 3158 acres, shape local real estate activity.
