As we approach Thanksgiving and the 2020 holiday season, celebrating our connections and community is more important than ever. The heart of any community is the people and the buildings are what make it possible.
Construction builds community.
Yes, sometimes that jackhammer noise can be annoying at 7 am. Yet community improvement projects are almost always a significant boon to any neighborhood or commercial area. These are just a few ways that ongoing construction across regions positively impacts your life:
Economic Boost
Almost all construction projects provide needed employment opportunities and government income. In addition, new residential construction alone provides an almost immediate and dramatic impact on home values.
Road construction also improves residential and commercial property values while promoting business and tourism.
Commercial real estate is key for boosting both national and local economies through the wide-reaching trickle-down growth in real estate, equipment, retail, manufacturing, education, business, tourism, and more.
Green Improvements
Modern buildings and systems follow updated, modern regulations and are more efficiently built. This means new construction projects are improving our environment through erosion controls, rainwater capture, reduced emissions, and other green construction methods. Newer, environmentally-friendly construction is better for everyone in the long run!
Infrastructure Resilience
The construction industry builds the things people depend on. With improved and modernized infrastructure like roads, buildings, emergency routes, waterways, and more, your community will be better prepared for natural disasters or economic dips that might put development on hold.
Ellicott City, MD and Hurricane Katrina are both dramatic examples of what can go wrong if the infrastructure isn’t up to par. Ongoing infrastructure improvements ensure your city or neighborhood is as safe as possible, no matter what the future holds.
Cultural Development
Land development fundamentally improves the quality of life for any sector. From improved schools and parks to modern cityscapes, they attract community involvement and improve the quality of life for all those involved. Community projects improve the economy, help the environment, prevent disasters, and unite us.
Especially in today’s post-COVID world, your surroundings and your community are fundamental to your well-being. Spend some time to learn more about what construction is happening in your area and how it may impact you!
