Two industrial permits were issued
Building permits issued have “surged” over the past month. In Oct. 2024, the City of Cookeville (City) issued 106 building permits, marking the second-highest number of permits issued in a single month.
“This number is just one permit short of the City’s all-time high of 107 permits set in January of this year,” according to a release by the city. “With an average of 62.7 permits issued each month in 2024, Cookeville is clearly seeing an upward trend in both residential and commercial development.”
There were 63 permits in October for the construction of new single family and multi-family homes. That accounted for a total investment of $19.4M
“Of these building permits, 20 were for multi-family structures, each consisting of three separate units. Between the single and multi-family dwellings, more than 100 homes will be added to Cookeville from the October permits alone. These new private developments will provide an important boost to local housing, offering more options to meet the growing demand for housing in our city,” according to the release.
October’s permits included approval of two new commercial buildings. The city says that underscores the city’s “thriving” economy and growth.
“These commercial projects not only add to Cookeville’s diverse economic base but also create new opportunities and services for the community,” according to the release.
It is that continued growth in building permits that highlights Cookeville’s commitment to “fostering a vibrant and dynamic community.”
“With new homes and businesses rising across the city, Cookeville is positioning itself as a prime location for both newcomers and longtime residents looking to call this wonderful city home,” according to the city.
