New Construction Growing in Sheridan

There's a recent and exciting trend in the building permits issued by the City of Sheridan: the balance is shifting from remodels to new construction. When times are hard, residents and businesses tend to invest money into remodels rather than new construction due to a variety of factors, including either lack of funds for new construction or the desire to be conservative with money and invest it into existing assets.

 

New construction is a significant economic indicator, demonstrating an increase in consumer confidence and pointing to growth for the community.
