GROWTH Progress 6.jpg
A loader sits in front of the Holiday Inn Express under construction near Buffalo Wild Wings on Dawsonville Highway. Commercial construction is picking up in Gainesville, and more than 2,500 building permits across commercial and residential projects were issued in the city in 2017.
Four times as many permits for single-family homes were pulled in 2017 in Hall County than in 2011. In 2011, builders spent an estimated $43.9 million on construction — last year, that number stood at $212.9 million.
