Construction dollars rise in Shreveport
Dollars spent on construction in
Shreveport during 1980 surpassed
the 1979 mark, statistics from the
Department of Permits and Inspec-tions
show.
Building permit valuation figures,
which totaled about $132 million for
the year, were up about $13 million
over 1979. Total permits issued num-bered
6,842 in 1980 and 10,011 in 1979.
The 1980 figures had run behind
1979's for most of the year.
In 1980 residential construction de-clined
by $8 million in valuations and
commercial construction rose about
$20.8 million more than the preced-ing
year, the report showed.
Figures in the commercial catego-ry
showed 1,701 permits issued in
1980 for a value of $78.9 million
compared to 1,647 in 1979 for $58.1
million. The totals in residential con-struction
were 5,102 permits issued
for $43.9 million in 1980 and 8,309 for
$51.9 million in 1979.
Total industrial permits for 1980
totaled $9.2 million, slightly more
than the 1979 figure of $8.6 million.
Single-family dwellings were down
by $6.3 million, but townhouses and
patio houses rose by $2.3 million,
about a 50 percent increase over the
$2.1 million from the preceding year.
The number of townhouses built in
1980 was 140, compared to 63 the year
before.
In the single-family dwelling cate-gory,
647 houses were built in 1980
while 594 were constructed in 1979.
DoLlar valuations showed a total of
$21.4 million in 1980 and $27.7 million
in 1979.
Additions to houses were about the
same, but repairs were down. Addi-tions
were up slightly from $5.3 mil-lion
to $5.5 million.
The repair figures fell from $11.1
million to $7.9 million.
Commercial additions declined
about $10.3 million from $15.6 million
to $5.3 million, although the number
of permits issued was only three less
than the previous year — 142 in 1980
and 139 in 1979.
Commercial repairs were about
the same each year, both about $13
million.
The largest commercial construc-tion.^
permit issued was the $21.1
million permit for the medical tower
at Louisiana State University Medi-cal
Center.
Total office construction was $22.3
million with 28 permits issued.
