Norfolk County’s Building Division reports total construction value of $71 million in the first nine months of this year, compared to $59 million in the first three quarters of 2015.
“There is a real appetite for new construction in Norfolk County,” said Fritz Enzlin, Chief Building Official for Norfolk County. “These are the highest numbers we have seen in at least the past six years.”
March, May, June and August were the busiest months for issuing building permits in Norfolk County. Enzlin reported a historic spike in permits in August.
