Have you ever driven by an area where there appears to be a swath of land cleared and you wonder what’s going on? You then see roads or a new highway or new utilities being installed.

As a rule of thumb, wherever transportation goes, rooftops follow such as, new restaurants, major commercial building remodels, new residential developments, schools plus more. The improved infrastructure inspires homebuilders, homeowners, commercial property owners, etc. to take advantage of infrastructure improvements and move forward with property investments.

TIP: As a property owner or business in the area of highway or roadway improvements, be cognizant of the increased permitting workload at the City so you can obtain your building permit in a timely manner and become profitable sooner.

The I-45 TXDOT project name is the North Houston Highway Improvement Program mentioned in today’s video will involve major improvements including increasing the number of lanes north and south. To learn more, visit www.txdot.gov/nhhip.html

New highways, improvement projects like widening, infrastructure such as new underground utilities create a positive environment for project owners to move forward with their investments in construction projects. This presents a great opportunity for the quality of life being enhanced for hundreds of thousands of people living in the area of improvements and encourage all project owners, selected contractors or architects to prepare project schedules accordingly including assessing the more than likely increased workload going through the local permitting jurisdiction. This is reality and projects can be planned to minimize delays in permitting.
