Despite a pandemic and general economic uncertainty, housing construction projects in Dillon and Silverthorne are well on their way toward completion.
Throughout Summit County, the construction industry has seen an influx in activity. Overall, the county has seen a 15% increase in inspections from 2019, Chief Building Official Scott Hoffman said.
Although the county has issued fewer permits than this time last year, the valuation of the work that’s been done is up 30% from 2019, indicating that larger, more expensive projects are being built in the county, Hoffman said.
Housing construction is busiest in Silverthorne and Dillon, where condominiums, affordable housing projects and new subdivisions have popped up around town.
In addition to new housing, construction is underway on a number of new businesses in Dillon and Silverthorne.
