Building continues strong within Mapleton Township

MAPLETON – Construction activity in Mapleton continued strong through October, boosted by building in the agricultural sector.
The township issued 40 building permits last month, for construction valued at nearly $7.3 million, generating fees of $76,241. That’s down in terms of construction value from October of 2017, when 31 permits for about $9 million worth of construction were issued, netting fees of $63,933.
Year to date, the municipality has issued 327 building permits, the same issued to this point last year.
“We’re very busy. We’re having a good year and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight,” said chief building official Patty Wright.
