NILES – Construction and renovation projects in Niles are changing the city’s skyline with new buildings, spruced-up older ones, new residential homes and new employment opportunities.
With four months remaining in the year, Niles has about $10 million worth of projects that have either been completed or are under way, according building and zoning director Anthony Vigorito. It had about $8.5 million worth of construction projects in all of 2009.
“It has been a busy year,” he said. “We still expect to have a lot of smaller projects to come in before the end of the year.”
Vigorito is not ready to call the greater amount of construction spending happening this year a part of a trend.
“I don’t want to look too far into the future,” he said. “Things change. We never had a real lull in projects. I attribute that to the city having its own utilities, relatively low taxes and being business friendly.”
It is the mix of projects that makes Vigorito optimistic.
