Numbers are for Putnam County and do not include any of the four cities
“January construction in Putnam County was not bad considering all the winter weather,” according to Putnam County Mayor Randy Porter.
January had 30 permits for $6.4 million in construction. 16 of those were for new single-family homes. Last January, the County had 24 permits worth 5.4 Million.
14 of those were for new single-family homes.
“January is normally one of the slower months for construction due to winter and holidays. January permits generated $25,209 in fees, which operate the Building Codes Department,” according to Porter.
These numbers are for Putnam County and do not include any of the four cities.
