Lawrence sees surge in home permits and public projects
Lawrence city reports 122 single family permits through September, nearing 2012's annual total of 123. When including duplexes, 2013 activity already surpasses 2012, with seven duplex permits vs three in 2012. Construction value reaches $153.4 million, 103 percent up from last year, driven by projects like Rock Chalk Park, the recreation center, and the library expansion. Public funding accounts for about 24 percent of permit value, higher than 20 percent in 2009 and 5 percent in 2012.

Shutdown drags on Plains economy in October
Nine Midwest and Plains states see weaker activity as the partial federal shutdown and agricultural pullbacks push the Mid-America Business Conditions Index below growth. Creighton University’s Ernie Goss notes a drop in employment, orders, and exports, with the regional index at 50.0 and the employment gauge at 48.2. The index covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Despite a later debt ceiling debate, the White House and Congress optimism slightly improves the outlook for firms.
