More in Construction
Regular subjects here include commercial permit activity, residential starts and subdivisions, roadway and utility projects, and the contractors and subcontractors doing the work. Coverage reaches across the city and the growing communities around it wherever a project crosses the line. Heat and monsoon weather shape the calendar for crews in ways that do not apply in most other markets. Labor availability is the constraint that most often delays a project from start to finish.
