FROM TERRE GIFT, BUILDING OFFICIAL – June was another interesting month for the Sandy Building Department, due largely to the remodel at City Hall.  As of this moment, we still are not completely settled back into our department.  There are new plans being submitted, and Boxes of code books and reference materials are still waiting to be put away.

Sandy’s new Goodwill Building project is moving rapidly; has completed footings and begun building concrete block walls.  Another noticeable commercial project is the retaining wall construction on Tupper Rd. for a new apartment building and garages above.

Residential construction remains steady with a tally of 68 active residential dwelling permits in June.  Villa Vista Homes lead with 29 active single family houses and townhomes –  and Hayden Homes follows with the 22 permits.  Raasch Construction, West Ridge Homes and Raze Custom Homes each have 3 homes under construction.  Richard Haggerty, Ron Haggerty, and Stonewood Homes are currently working on 2 homes each.  Oregon Custom Homes, Edison Homes, Alan Seymor, are building one home each.  Stonewood Homes and Cashatt Construction are preparing to sheetrock their new duplexes on Hood Street.  And lastly, Vanport Builders continues to progress on their first show home near the skate park.
