Building Boom Continues in Laguna Madre Area
Building permits in Laguna Madre show strong growth through 1977 with South Padre Island posting a peak year in 1973 and Port Isabel reaching $3 million in 1975. A 1976 slump preceded renewed activity, as major projects on the Island include Sea Island Tower, Beach House phases, Sun Tide Condominiums, Sunchase Condos, and other developments in 1977 78, while Port Isabel saw large permits for waterworks housing and school repairs. The outlook remains positive with widespread construction and rising population demand.
