Norwood Building Boom-July 22, 1971

In the first six months of 1971, Norwood witnessed a significant surge in construction activity. According to John B.E. Grover, the town’s building inspector, the estimated value of construction in this period nearly equals the total for all of last year.

The data revealed that 201 building permits were issued during the first six months of 1971, which is about the same number as the previous year. However, the people of Norwood are putting up more valuable buildings, indicating a healthy economic sign.

The estimated value of construction in the first half of this year stands at $4,222,953 , compared to a total of $5,018,480 in new buildings recorded last year. This sharp rise in construction activity was first noticed in March when three permits for new dwellings were issued, including one for the Norwest/Woods apartment development , valued at $2,180,500 .

In April, four permits for new dwellings were granted, with one of them being for the construction of developer George Elias’ apartment complex on Dean Street, estimated to cost $670,000. The building inspector also reported that permit fees collected by his department during the first six months of 1971 totalled $8,492, combined with water meter fees of $560, making a total departmental income of $9,052.

This growth in construction activity has been a welcome trend for Norwood, and it is expected to continue throughout the year. The building inspector’s figures indicate that the town is experiencing a period of economic growth, which is a positive sign for its residents.
