BUILDING BOOM: Officials, builders report a big year for development
12/30/20 6:46 AM
HANCOCK COUNTY Revenue received by the county’s planning and building departments exceeded $1 million this year, reaching the seven-figure mark for the first time.
An official attributes that milestone to the many large commercial buildings planned throughout Hancock County. Other planning and building leaders across the county, along with those who build homes in the area, report good years as well.
Mike Dale, executive director of the Hancock County Area Plan Commission and Board of Zoning Appeals, said the planning and building departments’ revenues come from sources like building permits, inspections, sign permits and fees petitioners pay for hearings before the plan commission and zoning appeals board.
